Tour the Athens of the North, Edinburgh. We will visit those delightful lesser-known places along with famous sites, and with that in mind, see St Barnard's Well, a natural spring surrounded by an 18th-century temple. The location is a well-known spot for marriage proposals.
Scotland's capital is bursting with character and charm. Edinburgh is a tale of two cities, the hilltop settlement with alleys, snickets, old churches and The Castle, and the NEW City, of 18th-century origin. Speculators constructed a new town on the back of new money and investment following the Union with England in 1707. Cashmere and kilts are for sale, but our guide will help you authentically navigate Edinburgh.
Tour the official residence of HRH King Charles, the Palace of Holyrood House. The Palace was once home to Mary, Queen of Scots and the setting for many dramatic episodes in her short life. Enjoy a walking tour up the famous Royal Mile with your guide – cobbled streets, tiny shops, mysteries and the stories of Scotland's significant figures of literature.
Tour Edinburgh Castle, dominating Edinburgh's skyline and giving stunning views across the City and countryside. It is home to the Scottish Crown Jewels, the legendary Stone of Destiny, and Mons Meg – a giant cannon. Tour the New Town and visit the Georgian house, built in the late 18th Century and furnished as it would have been in 1796, presenting a fascinating insight into the past. Get off the beaten path with your guide and see a side of Edinburgh not typically seen.
Just south of Edinburgh is the settlement of Roslin. Rosslyn Chapel is one of Scotland's wonders. The chapel has a spectacular interior and intricately carved symbols, faces, and flora that have fascinated and intrigued people for centuries. Try to unravel the secrets of the chapel.

See Castle Stalker: In Gaelic, Stalker is 'stalcaire', which means hunter or falconer. The castle is only reachable by foot at low tide on an island, surrounded by the water of Loch Laich, with a backdrop of the snow-capped Scottish hills. The four-storey castle is a real fortress with nine ft thick walls. No one has lived at the castle since the 18th century, but the castle is still privately owned and runs limited tours by appointment throughout the year.
Take the scenic route to Fort William, stopping at Glen Coe, an iconic beauty spot, and take a stroll to see the 'meeting of the three waters, ' a massive waterfall at the base of the Three Sister Mountains, truly spectacular.
Your driver-guide will transfer you to the railway Station and race the train to the next stop. The railway route boasts views of mighty Ben Nevis, the King of Britain's mountains. For the Harry Potter fans and muggles among us, crossing the 21-arched Glenfinnan viaduct is the closest you can get to travelling on the Hogwarts Express back to school. You need not be a Harry Potter fan to enjoy this railway journey. The Jacobite Express has always been a much-loved piece of Scottish heritage and has been cherished by enthusiasts since the re-introduction of the steam-hauled service in 1984.
First Class Tickets: we highly recommend purchasing First Class tickets for this scenic railway journey. We will make all arrangements for you.

Tour the Isle of Skye; The Quaraing Rocks and Fairy Glen are enchanting. A series of landslides have exposed the inner volcanic bones of the mountain, revealing spikes and outlandish crags of stone. Walkers must see the thunderous Rha Waterfall and, at low tide, visit Spar Cave – a natural wonder made of limestone. If you are stealthy, see red deer, sea eagles, seals, whales and dolphins.
Find the Fairy Pools at the base of the infamous Cuillin Mountains, a series of jagged peaks. See the crystal clear mountain waters; you can plunge (wetsuit provided) into the icy waters for a truly refreshing experience. The short walk from the main road to the pools makes you feel drawn to the water and then enveloped by the mysterious Cuillin mountains.
The Quiraing is a sublime fantasy world beauty spot. Quiraing comes from Old Norse, which means 'Round Fold'. Within the fold in the hills, there is a hidden plateau. This concealed location was used to keep cattle safe and to hide from attack.

Part of the Scottish Highlands, Isle of Skye has it all – ancient structures, natural miracles, unspoiled countryside and magnificent coastlines broken by lochs. Portree is the main town on Skye and a working harbour, a great place to sit and eat fish and chips.
See the *Cuillin mountains which visitors are welcome to climb. The Trotternish peninsula is a ridge of hills which includes ‘The Old Man of Storr’ a spectacular rock formation, walking to the base of the 160 ft monolith takes approximately 1 hour, depending on your fitness levels.

We cross the Skye bridge back to the mainland.
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 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.
