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 Shetland Island (Northern Isles)

Located between Norway and mainland Scotland, the Shetland Islands archipelago is made up of around 100 different islands boasting the most incredible landscapes in the UK and a Viking heritage. Visit the picturesque capital, Lerwick, be amazed by the seaside and enjoy miles of breathtaking coastline, the towering cliff tops, pristine beaches and crystal-clear blue shores. Shetland also has a spectacular wildlife. Take a day to go spotting for seabirds and seals, otters, killer whales and of course the famous Shetland ponies.

Visit Fair Isle, Jarlshof Prehistoric and Norse Settlement, Shetland Museum and Archives, Broch of Mousa, RSPB Sumburgh Head, Papa Stour, St Ninians Isle, Muness Castle.



2 nights in Orkney Islands (Kirkwall-Northern Isles)

There are plenty of things to see and do in Orkney Islands (Kirkwall), from the St Magnus Cathedral and Viking heritage to island hopping, shopping and art, not forgetting friendly accommodation. Make sure you listen out for traditional Scottish words you might hear the locals using. You can also enjoy some of the most incredible landscapes in the UK with an abundance of wildlife nearby. Kirkwall was once a quiet place of contemplation but is now a bustling market town. Visitors will find a wide range of accommodation on the island that caters for long and short stays, bed and breakfast or self-catering.

Visit St Magnus Cathedral, Bishops' and Earls' Palaces, The Orkney Museum, Orkney Wireless Museum, Scapa Flow, Chateau Balfour, Hatston Pier Cruise Liner Berth, The Tankerness House 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!

Package Map Picture
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.
