Blair Castle & Blair Atholl
Surrounded by glens, hills and forests, all linked together by the River Garry, Blair Atholl offers beautiful scenery, rural tranquility and a magnificent castle. Discover Blair Castle’s 700 year history through the fascinating past of the Dukes and Earls of Atholl. Dating back to 1269, the castle has been central to much of Scottish history. From Mary Queen of Scots to the Civil War, and from Jacobite rebellions to the disaster of Culloden following Bonnie Prince Charlie’s own stay at the castle. Discover how Queen Victoria’s stay led to the creation of Europe’s only private army, the Atholl Highlanders, and the transformation of this unique castle from a strategic stronghold to a Baronial Victorian home.
A visit to the Royal Deeside
Braemar and Ballater lie in the heart of Royal Deeside and are within the Cairngorms National Park. Surrounded by hidden glens and beautiful mountain scenery these villages have long standing royal connections with many of the shops and businesses displaying Royal warrants of the Royal Family. The family are notoriously fond of the Scottish Highlands and this trip offers a chance to explore the area that held so much charm for Queen Victoria & Prince Albert.
St Andrews
This famous town is known worldwide as ‘The Home of Golf’ and is also home to Scotland’s oldest university. There is plenty to see and do in St Andrews from wandering the medieval centre with its cobbled streets and narrow alleyways, to exploring the castle and ruined cathedral. The charm of the town continues down to the shore where there are two long sandy beaches which look out to the North Sea.
Aberfeldy, Crieff & Pitlochry
Where rolling lowland hills meet rugged highland mountains, these bustling towns have plenty to do and see. Lying on the shores of Scotland’s longest river, the River Tay, Aberfeldy has spectacular views of the Falls of Moness. Journey on to discover Crieff – originally a main cattle trading centre in Scotland. From its medieval roots this town has flourished and is home to the oldest distillery in Scotland which showcases one of Scotland’s most famous whiskies. Finally visit the friendly little town of Pitlochry with its quaint architecture and beautiful scenery, as well as local crafts and produce.
Edinburgh
Scotland’s Capital seamlessly blends old and new, making it a fabulous city to explore. The Castle and the Royal Mile are steeped in history and Scottish culture. Holyrood Palace lies in the heart of the city alongside the new Scottish Parliament building and it is the combination of ancient and modern that makes Edinburgh such a vibrant place to visit. This bustling city offers a wide variety of shops, food and drink, as well as some of the best city views in Europe.
