Inversnaid Hotel 7 Day Edinburgh Tattoo
First Day - South
Arrive at the Inversnaid Hotel in time for dinner.
Inveraray
Overlooking the still waters of Loch Fyne, Inveraray is the most iconic town in Argyll. This pretty town was founded in 1745 by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, head of the infamous Clan Campbell. Inveraray is a classic example of an 18th century planned town and the Georgian architecture remains unspoilt. There is plenty to do and see in the town and a visit to the neo-classical church and Inveraray jail are a must. Just a short walk from the town sits Inveraray Castle, the ancestral home of the Dukes of Argyll. The castle is a beautiful example of neo-gothic architecture and lies in extensive grounds with many short walks.
Edinburgh Military Tattoo
Staged as part of the world famous Edinburgh Fringe-Festival, the Tattoo is a unique experience that showcases music, dance and military pageantry from all over the world. Set at Edinburgh Castle this dramatic performance includes 1,000 musicians, pipers, drummers, singers and dancers who perform on the esplanade. Military bands play old Scottish battle tunes and tell the story of Scotland’s past through their music. Blended with Scottish tradition are some of the best overseas performers who bring colourful and diverse displays of their own culture to make this evening a truly memorable experience! Please note that there is a walk to the castle and steps up to stand-seating. Contact the bookings office for any mobility queries.
Cruise Loch Katrine, The Trossachs & Killin
Killin is a pretty village famous for the spectacular series of rapids that run through the centre – The Falls of Dochart. Wander around the little village and enjoy the short walks that explore the Falls before heading to the beautiful Trossachs. ‘The Highlands in miniature’ – this area is one of the most romantic in Scotland, with wild little glens, tranquil Lochs, miles of forest and rolling hills. Soak up the spectacular scenery of Loch Katrine and enjoy a cruise on board the famous Sir Walter Scott steamship. A cruise is the perfect way to enjoy the romantic landscapes and timeless beauty of the Trossachs. The Sir Walter Scott is a historic ship and has been cruising on these waters since 1900. Named after the author Sir Walter Scott, who played a huge part in romanticising Loch Katrine in his poem Lady of the Lake.
Oban, Loch Linnhe, Glencoe & Rannoch Moor
Glencoe is undoubtedly the most popular and scenic glen in Scotland. The sheer scale and grandeur of the landscape is sure to inspire and the turbulet history of the area will fascinate visitors. Then visit nearby Rannoch Moor – one of Scotland’s outstanding areas of natural wilderness, before passing beautiful Loch Linnhe as you travel to the west coast. The largest town in Argyll & The Isles, Oban is known as the ‘Gateway to the Isles’ and is the ‘Seafood Capital of Scotland’. Oban has a way of drawing out the romantic side of visitors, with its mists that roll in from the sea and the hills which overlook the bay. The most iconic feature within Oban is McCaig’s Tower, a Colosseum lookalike that stands above the town and offers wonderful views out west. From seafood to whisky, Oban offers a great range of local produce –all well worth sampling!
The Falkirk Wheel
Visit the world’s only rotating boat lift, designed to connect the Forth & Clyde Canal to the Union Canal in central Scotland. The Falkirk Wheel is a magnificent triumph in Scottish engineering and has already been recognized as an iconic landmark. Designed to replace a series of 19th century lock-gates the Falkirk Wheel is the showpiece of the Millennium Link project to re-establish coast-to-coast navigation of the canals for the first time in 40 years.
