Scotland’s capital is bursting with character and charm. Edinburgh is a tale of two cities: the hilltop settlement with alleys, snickets, and old churches and the Castle, and the NEW City, of 18th-century origin with elegant terraces and squares. Cashmere and kilts are for sale, but our guide will help you authentically navigate Edinburgh. Tour Edinburgh Castle, dominating Edinburgh’s skyline and giving stunning views across the City and countryside. Home to the Scottish Crown Jewels, the legendary Stone of Destiny and Mons Meg – a giant cannon

Explore the official Scottish residence of HRH the King. The Palace of Holyroodhouse is situated at the end of the Royal Mile and visible from Arthur's Seat. Tapestries, paintings and elaborate plasterwork adorn the staterooms. Discover the Throne Room, the Great Gallery and Mary Queen of Scots' private apartments. David Rizzio met his unfortunate end in the outer chamber of the Queen's bed-chamber. 

Stop at the Scotch Whisky Experience. The whisky collection is vast at  3,384 plus bottles of Scotch Whisky, and therefore highly valuable. This incredible collection is kept secure behind a marble and glass vault. We can arrange several tasting options and learn about the history of whiskies from different regions. 

Fancy a hike and a great place to watch the sunrise? Climb Calton Hill. It’s not too tiring, we promise, and it's so worth the walk. With its classical monuments and hilltop position, it has an almost Athenian feel, and the views over the City are the best from this spot! A sunset picnic would be splendid, too!

Stop for a photo stop of Stirling Castle. Perched high and proud on impressive cliffs, Stirling Castle has played a crucial role in Scottish history; the battles of Stirling Bridge and the Battle of Bannockburn fought within its shadow, and Mary Queen of Scots lived here as a child - go inside time permitting.

Drive the sublime shore of Loch Lomond. Made up of mountains, forests, rivers and lochs, the Trossachs National Park is a miniature version of the Highlands with historical connections to Rob Roy. Take a short hike from the main road to the romantic ruins of Kilchurn Castle, built in the 15th century by the Campbell family.

Stop in Inveraray and see the hereditary seat of the Dukes of Argyll. The Gothic stone castle of Inveraray (go inside time permitting) sits alone, surrounded by 16 acres of greenery. Inveraray Castle featured in an episode of Downton Abbey, which will interest Downton fans. Within the town is Inveraray Jail, a 19th-century prison with 3 foot thick walls. The jail holds 4345 former prisoner records, so there are many tales to be told by the costumed characters walking around the prison.

See Castle Stalker: In Gaelic, Stalker is 'stalcaire', which means hunter or falconer! On an island, surrounded by the water of Loch Laich, with a backdrop of the snow-capped Scottish hills, the castle is only reachable by foot at low tide. Otherwise, you need a boat. The four-storey castle is a real fortress, with 9 ft thick walls. No one has lived at the castle since the 18th-century, but the castle is still privately owned and as such runs limited tours, by appointment, throughout the year.

The waterfalls of Glen Nevis and the rugged views of Glen Coe are a must-see when visiting the Highlands. Glen Coe featured in James Bond's Skyfall. From the road, you can see the legendary rocky ridge of the Devil's Staircase. 

The Jacobite steam train is an 84-mile journey and one of the greatest railway journeys in the world! The vintage railway route boasts views of the mighty Ben Nevis, the King of Britain's mountains. For the Harry Potter fan and muggles among us, crossing 21-arched Glenfinnan viaduct is simply the closest you can get to travelling on the Hogwarts Express back to school.

Eilean Donan Castle must be the most photographed castles in the world. The construction you see today is enchantingly deceptive, appearing every bit the medieval castle, but, the castle was re-built in the 1920s and 30s. If you were to ‘google’ pictures of Eilean Donan Castle in the 19th-century, you would see a ruin. A view of the castle that had been blown to smithereens by the British Navy during the Jacobite uprising. The real story of Outlander. 

There has been a castle here, at the point where three sea lochs meet, since the 13th-century — constructed to defend the lands of Kintail, a sea-kingdom from foes, including those curious and sometimes bloodthirsty Vikings. Eilean Donan Castle is shrouded in highland legend in the form of a mysterious warrior who could speak to birds, yes; you read that correctly. To be blessed with magical ability, you drink from the skull of a raven. Unearth the mysteries with your driver-guide and create beautiful memories of one of the most romantic views in Scotland!

Loch Ness is a massive body of water covering 22sq miles with depths of almost 800 ft. The Loch is famous for its monster mysteries, reported sightings of giant aquatic lizard gained international interest in the 1930s. Is the creature of Scottish folk law real? Or a strange sea-serpent species? Now it is your chance to see the beast of the deep.
