Scotland
Welcome
to
Scotland! Upon
arrival
to
the
Edinburgh
airport,
you
can
make
your
own
way
to
the
hotel
or
have
us
pick
you
up:
Arrival
Transfer
is
$79
per
person,
minimum
two
guests.
Upon
arrival
we
will
enjoy
our
Orientation
Walkabout
of
Edinburgh
(a
great
way
to
get
to
know
the
city
quickly
and
also
fight
off
jet
lag!).
We
return
to
the
hotel
to
relax
before
our
welcome
dinner
experience
tonight!
Welcome Dinner Included
Hotel
in
Edinburgh:
Hotel
Roxburghe
Edinburgh
Edinburgh
City
Adventure
and
Castle
Tour.
Our
wonderful
experienced
city
guide
will
join
us
after
breakfast
to
point
out
the
principal
sights
of
Scotland's
Capital
City.
We'll
contrast
the
compact
medieval
section
along
the
Royal
Mile,
with
the
wide
streets
of
the
200-year-old
Georgian
New
Town,
as
we
drive
along
the
bustling
Princes
Street.
Dominating
the
city
center,
Edinburgh
Castle
contains
the
Scottish
Crown
Jewels
and
the
Stone
of
Scone,
and
is
our
next
destination.
The
rest
of
your
day
is
on
your
own
to
discover
more
of
this
enchanting
city,
shopping
and
dinner
on
your
own.
Optional Dinner: Join the Tour Captain
Hotel
in
Edinburgh:
Hotel
Roxburghe
Culloden
Battlefield
After
breakfast,
we
board
our
mini-motor
coach
bound
for
Inverness.
We
enjoy
the
Culloden
Battlefield
and
Visitor's
Center
along
the
way.
On
April
16,
1746,
the
last
battle
to
be
fought
on
British
soil
took
less
than
an
hour
to
reach
its
bloody
conclusion
here
on
what
is
now
know
as
Culloden
Moor.
It
was
not,
as
often
portrayed,
a
battle
between
the
Scots
and
the
English:
large
numbers
of
Scots
fought
on
the
Government
side
while
the
Jacobite
army
included
French
units
and
some
English
Jacobites.
Rather
it
was
the
last
chapter
in
a
sporadic
civil
war
for
succession
to
the
throne
that
had
been
under
way
since
1688.
Upon
arrival
Inverness,
we
check
in
to
our
hotel
and
enjoy
an
Orientation
Walkabout.
Dinner
tonight
is
optional,
however,
the
Tour
Captain
will
invite
you
to
join
them
to
a unique,
distinctly
Scottish
restaurant.
Optional Dinner: Join the Tour Captain
Hotel
in
Inverness:

we
embark
on
the
epic
journey
to
Loch
Ness
and
Loch
Lomond
via
the
Scottish
Highlands.
After
a
hearty
breakfast
we'll arrive Loch
Ness
for
a
short
sightseeing
cruise
and
maybe
catch
a
glimpse
of
the
famous
Loch
Ness
Monster.
Along
the
way
we'll
drive
alongside
the
famous
Loch
Lomond,
and
take
in
the
beauty
of
the
lake
and
mountains as we overnight.
Our
travels
this
day
will
also
take
us
through
Glencoe,
notoriously
known
for
the
Campbell
massacre
of
the
McDonald
Clan
in
1692.
Upon

we
check
in,

up

over
five
miles
along
the
coastline.
We

of

and
archaeology
and
in
its

It
is
a place
to
experience
the
spirit
of
Gaelic
Ireland
and
take
you
back
to
an
Ireland
of
Celts
and
Early
Christians.

Wicklow Mountains & Glendalough
We depart after breakfast bound for Dublin. Located ten miles south of Dublin, the Wicklow Mountains feel remote and actually provided a refuge to those souls, back in the day, who desired not English Rule! In the 1798 Irish uprising, rebels hid here successfully for years. In 1800 the British built a road for military purposes to deal with the rebels, today we enjoy the route through the scenic area starting with the steep and wooded hills of Glendalough on the south side through to Dublin.
