Drive around George Square and see its collection of monuments to famous Scots. Take a step back into medieval times with a visit to Provand’s Lordship, built in 1471 and housing a collection of centuries-old furniture and art. Enjoy a welcome drink and dinner with your group.

Day 2: Loch Lomond & Loch Ness Cruise

Depart for the scenic Highlands, driving alongside Loch Lomond, resplendent with lush islands, then across the Rannoch Moor and through Glencoe - seeing mountains, moors and waterfalls along the way. Stop at Fort Augustus for a short cruise on Loch Ness, famed for its beauty as well as the legendary monster. Continue to your elegant manor house hotel in Nairn. (B, D)

Day 3: Whisky Tasting & St Andrews

Visit the historic Blair Athol Distillery to discover the art of whisky-making and sample a dram. Continue to St Andrews, the “Home of Golf”; take a panoramic drive and spend some time exploring the old city independently. Continue on to your gracious manor house hotel outside Edinburgh, set on 1,000 acres of picturesque grounds. Experience a Scottish evening of traditional food and lively entertainment. (August 2, 2022 - August 23, 2022 departures enjoy time to explore and dine independently.) (B, D*)

Day 4: Edinburgh Castle & City Tour

Visit Edinburgh Castle, perched high above the city on volcanic rock, and home to the Scottish Crown Jewels. You are free to explore as you wish for the rest of the day and evening. The August 2, 2022 - August 23, 2022 departures attend the spectacular Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo on the Castle Esplanade. (B)
