Scotland Travel Tours
Experience all of Scotland in our best choice for Scotland travel tours - a comprehensive yet leisurely 14 day escorted motor coach journey from Glasgow to Carlisle, Edinburgh, Inverness, Wick, the Isle of Skye and Isle of Mull.
After arriving in Glasgow on your international flight, you’ll be transferred to your hotel and free to explore Scotland’s largest city before meeting your fellow travelers and guide for a welcome dinner the first evening. The next morning, you’ll head off into the lowlands for Gretna Green - the elopement capital of the UK - and a guided tour of historic Carlisle Castle. Recounting your visit to the castle where Mary, Queen of Scots, was imprisoned in 1558 will provide the basis for lively discussions during dinner in Carlisle that night.
Day 3 will find you traveling to Edinburgh for a 2-night stay with included tours of the city and Edinburgh Castle, and ample time to explore this intriguing mysterious city on your own. Perhaps consider a spine-chilling ghost tour of the city’s haunted underground vaults in the evening for a guaranteed sleepless night. Or, if you join this escorted Scotland tour on its August 7, 14, or 21 departures, tickets to the famous Military Tattoo are included for an unforgettable evening of bagpipe playing precision.
From Edinburgh, it’s off through stunning scenery to the Highlands and its capital, Inverness, with visits to Braemar, the playground of kings and nobles for centuries, and a whiskey distillery along the way. While in Inverness for 2-nights, you’ll be able to take a half-day trip to Culloden Moor, the site of 1746 defeat of the Highlanders by the English under the duke of Cumberland, and Cawdor Castle, a 14th century fairy-tale castle linked as the setting for Shakespeare’s Macbeth - and still have free time to explore on your own.

You’ll stop for a visit to Dunrobin Castle, the largest house in the northern Highlands, on the scenic journey to the Orkney Islands and 2-night’s stay in Wick. A local guide will join you for an in-depth discovery of 5,000 years of culture, great beaches and abundant wildlife.
Then it’s off for 2-nights to enjoy tranquility and natural beauty on the Isle of Skye followed by a ferry ride to Isle of Mull for another 2-night stay. Be on the look-out for the wild otters in the Sound of Sleat.
Upon returning to Glasgow, you’ll enjoy a city sightseeing tour and time for last minute shopping or a wander through the city before the farewell dinner and return flight home the next day.
