Our trips to Scotland take place in August every two years.  Don't miss out on our 2013 trip, register your interest early. 

GLASGOW Scotland's biggest city will keep you amazed with museums and historical buildings like the 13th century Glasgow Cathedral and Provand's Lordship, built in 1471 it is the only house in Glasgow to survive from the medieval era. The World Pipe Band Championships attracts around 45000 spectators, 8000 pipers and drummers from 200+ bands from around the World.

EDINBURGH August is Edinburgh Festival time. You can stroll the Royal Mile where you’ll see buskers, bands and an amazing range of shops. The tour includes the World's most famous spectacular, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. There is so much to see and do in Edinburgh you could spend the entire 10 days here and still want more time. There are spooky ghost tours beneath the city, historic tours and whisky tours.  We also visit the historic Edinburgh Castle, the home of the Scottish Crown Jewels and the ancient Stone of Scone.

STIRLING This is a beautiful part of Scotland where you can walk the same ground as William Wallace, King Robert the Bruce & Rob Roy. If you love Scotland’s dramatic history, Stirling is a must to visit. You’ll see Wallace’s two-handed broadsword at the Wallace Monument, wander through the amazing Stirling Castle, pictured above, and walk the field of Bannockburn, the battlefield of King Robert the Bruce’s victory in 1314.
