About the tour
Feel the hum in your chest as the bagpipes sound against the backdrop of an illuminated 900-year-old castle. There is nowhere else you could be but Scotland. This country is filled with legend and lore and is a place where tradition holds strong. These traditions set the tone for your roundtrip, escorted journey to three breathtaking cities: Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Stirling. Begin in Glasgow with an evening to independently get acquainted with the local culture after your arrival. From here, enjoy a trip through the Scottish countryside aboard a heritage railway, the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway, toward Edinburgh. Scotland's capital city is fascinating in its own right, but you arrive in Tattoo season - one of the most highly anticipated seasons of the year. Since the 1940s, the Edinburgh Tattoo has been performed at Edinburgh Castle. Listen to traditional music played by pipes and drums and watch Highland dancers as they perform their art. Military formations, gasp-worthy stunts, fireworks, and more make this an event to remember. The tour proceeds to Stirling, home of Stirling Castle - the childhood home of Mary Queen of Scots - and then back to Glasgow, where we are treated to a traditional Scottish tea at the Mackintosh at the Willow tea rooms. Four days, three destinations, and endless chances to peer into the heart of Scotland: Your journey awaits.
