Immerse yourself in Scottish hospitality on this amazing vacation. Board your motorcoach in London and head north, crossing the Scottish border and arriving in Edinburgh for two overnights. Here, your guided sightseeing includes the mighty castle to admire Scotland’s Crown Jewels. On to St. Andrews, home of golf; Braemar, home of the Royal Highland Games for the past 900 years; and Royal Deeside, where the Queen is an annual visitor. Cross the battlefield of Culloden Moor and visit the Highland capital of Inverness before driving to the beautiful Isle of Skye. Take the ferry back across the Sound of Sleat to Mallaig and then enjoy more breathtaking scenery. Ben Nevis, Glen Coe, and the Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond are highlights on the way to Glasgow for your last overnight before returning to London.
