Trip Summary
3 nights in Edinburgh

Edinburgh has an almost fairy-tale setting and every step is a revelation. Its magnificent architecture shifts from the proud tenements of its medieval Old Town, to the grace and geometric precision of the Georgian New Town. Above it all stands Edinburgh Castle perched high on its volcanic rock looking down on a city where medieval lanes and elegant, sweeping terraces hold over ten centuries of history, mystery, and tradition.

Enjoy the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, Calton Hill, Palace of Holyroodhouse, Princes Street Gardens, St Giles' Cathedral, Scott Monument and so much more!



2 nights in Fort William

Located close to Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the British Isles, and the beautiful Glen Nevis, Fort William is a major tourist centre for hillwalking and climbing. The town's attractions include the West Highland Museum with a large number of Jacobite relics including a secret portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie, and one of the old paneled rooms from the fort has been rebuilt here. Fort William was the first town in Britain to be lit by electricity generated by its own water power scheme.

Visit Ben Nevis, Nevis Range Mountain Resort, Glen Nevis, Jacobite Steam Train, West Highland Museum, Corpach Sea Lock and Caledonian Canal, and so much more!



2 nights in Inverness

The capital of the Highlands, Inverness is one of the oldest inhabited sites in Scotland. Don't miss the oldest church, Old High Church, on St Michael's Mount by the riverside, a site used for worship since Celtic times. Other interesting sights include Inverness Castle, from which Mary, Queen of Scots was infamously barred; and Urquhart Castle, south of the city, which was a formidable fortress in the Middle Ages. Inverness is a good base for exploring the Highlands.

Visit Inverness Castle, The Steeple, Ness Islands, Inverness Castle, Abertarff House, Cawdor Castle, Urquhart Castle, Culloden Battlefield, and so much more!



2 nights in Aberdeen

Surnamed the 'Granite City' because of its buildings constructed largely of pink or gray granite, the historic Aberdeen presents a modern cosmopolitan image to visitors, boasting marvelous museums and galleries; a lively nightlife and the best shopping in the northeast. The city is famous for its outstanding parks, gardens, its top attraction being the Winter Gardens at the Duthie Park, home to the stunning Rose Mountain. The city's two miles of sands also ensures it a status of coastal resort.

Visit The Gordon Highlanders Museum, Cove Coastal Path, Girdle Ness Lighthouse, Blackdog Beach, and much more!



2 nights in Perth

Perth was the historic capital of the Kingdom of Scotland, until the mid-15th century. Nowadays it is the administrative headquarters of Perth and Kinross council. The most popular architectural and historical attraction, Scone Palace, lies on the outskirts, and the surrounding countryside is wonderful for strolling and hiking. Perth is also the centre of the regimental Black Watch, whose museum is located inside Balhousie Castle, of medieval origins, but retaining little of its original character.

Explore Scone Palace, Perth Museum and Art Gallery, Perth Concert Hall, Perth City Centre, Balhousie Castle and Museum of the Black Watch, Branklyn Garden, and so much more!

Scotland

A vacation to the isle of Britain would be incomplete without stopping in Scotland. Edinburgh and Glasgow are some of the most cosmopolitan cities in the United Kingdom, set in an urban landscape with many historic buildings dating from the Victorian era and even earlier, impressive considering Scotland was not spared from the Blitz of World War II. Further afield, rivers flow through beautiful valleys that reach the peaks of the Highlands, an area with its own authentic cultural traditions. Whether you are in mainland Scotland or on one of the offshore islands, this nation offers so many charming experiences for the traveler, from fairytale castles to abbeys in ruins to picturesque villages.
