Description

We’re off bright and early from Edinburgh on this small group tour, ready to pack a whole lot of adventure into one epic day! First stop - the mighty Kelpies, two whopping great steel beasties standing guard over Scotland’s past. Then it’s north into the Highlands, where it’s decision time. Fancy a wee dram of Scotland’s liquid gold? Step inside a whisky distillery, hear the tales of smoky stills and ancient casks, and sip on a dram that warms the soul. Please note children must be 12+ in order to join the distillery tour. Not into whisky? No worries! The market town of Crieff is bursting with charm, quirky wee shops, and cosy cafés that are perfect for a wander and a cuppa. Please note children must be 12+ in order to join the distillery tour. With a belly full of whisky (or cake), we hit the road again, winding through the Sma’ Glen, where Highland legends were made. Clan battles, cattle raids, and the ghosts of Jacobites - this landscape has seen it all. Then it’s time to stretch the legs at The Hermitage, an ancient woodland straight out of a fairytale. Feel the earth beneath your boots, breathe in the scent of pine, and follow the path to thundering waterfalls and swirling rivers. Once a royal retreat, this place is pure magic - don’t be surprised if you find yourself half-expecting to stumble upon a Highland warrior mid-battle! Before we head home, we swing by Dunkeld, a postcard-perfect wee village on the banks of the River Tay. Grab a tasty local treat, check out the historic cathedral, or just soak up the laid-back vibes of Highland life. And as we roll back into Edinburgh, there’s one last stunner in the mighty Forth Bridge. A proper Scottish icon to round off a day packed with adventure, history, and plenty of laughs!
