Description

Explore Scotland with a Spanish-speaking guide on this immersive journey through its stunning landscapes and rich history. This tour has two itineraries depending on your travel dates. Itinerary until December 14, 2025: We begin at 190 High Street, Edinburgh, heading towards Dunnottar Castle, a historic site perched on cliffs overlooking the North Sea. Along the way, we cross the Forth River, passing the picturesque fishing villages of North Queensferry and South Queensferry. Our first stop is Dundee, Scotland’s capital of design and technology. We’ll stop by the Tay River to take in panoramic views of the Tay Bridge and the RRS Discovery, the ship used by Captain Robert Falcon Scott in his Antarctic expedition. We will visit Dunnottar Castle, a key location during the Wars of Independence in the 13th and 14th centuries. This dramatic fortress inspired many artists and filmmakers. Note: In case of adverse weather preventing access, we will offer a photo stop at a panoramic viewpoint and visit Stonehaven. Enjoy a break in Stonehaven, a charming seaside village with a lively harbor and colorful houses, before lunch and continuing our journey. Next, we visit Glamis Castle, famous for its connection to Macbeth and the Queen Mother. Explore this Victorian Gothic masterpiece, with its remarkable architecture and gardens. On the way back to Edinburgh, we pass through Silicon Glen, Scotland’s tech valley. Your guide will provide suggestions for further exploration of Edinburgh. Winter Itinerary (from December 15, 2025 to March 22, 2026): Starting from 190 High Street, Edinburgh, we head east, passing through the Fife region and along the North Sea coast. Enjoy the picturesque landscapes as we travel. Our first stop is the Three Bridges Viewpoint, offering spectacular views of the iconic Forth Bridge, Forth Road Bridge, and the Queensferry Crossing. Capture stunning photos of these engineering marvels and the picturesque villages of North and South Queensferry. Next, we head to Aberdour, where we’ll visit Aberdour Castle, one of Scotland’s oldest fortresses. Founded in the 12th century, it offers a unique glimpse into medieval life with its well-preserved architecture and strategic importance. Our visit to Dunnottar Castle offers breathtaking views of this cliff-top fortress that played a key role in the Wars of Independence. The stunning location and historical significance make this a must-see. Note: In case of adverse weather, we will visit a panoramic viewpoint instead. Our final stop is Arbroath Abbey, founded in the 12th century by King William I. This abbey is historically significant as the site where the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320, a key document in Scotland's fight for independence.
