Day 1: Edinburgh

Royal mile, old Castle, home of the brave, Edinburgh is going to turn it on from start to end. And to get everyone grinning from the get-go, we've scored tickets to a comedy show at world-famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival!

Ibis Edinburgh Centre South Bridge (or similar)

Day 2: Edinburgh

Today is yours to roam free - but if you want to get the low down on the history of this city why not join our local guide for an optional tour of Edinburgh Castle (which is resting on an extinct volcano!). Or maybe you'll do a spot of tartan shopping on Princes Stree...

Day 3: Edinburgh to Scottish Highlands

It's time to blaze a trail out of Edinburgh & head for the Scottish Highlands. On the way to the main affair of the day we'll stop by St. Andrews, the birthplace of golf, would you believe? As well as Scotland’s oldest university town. Already blown away by the be...

Day 4: Scottish Highlands to Glasgow via Loch Ness and Dundreggan

We might be coming down from a high (geographically speaking) this morning, but as we seek out the stunning Loch Ness, the mood will only be rising.  We'll stop to see lovely Loch Ness and hop on board for a cruise of the most voluminous lake in the UK - containing mo...

Day 5: Glasgow

Wakey wakey everyone. We're up bright and early today, and this city's all yours to explore. Plus, you've got the option to check out the nearby Stirling castle (and the town where William Wallace took on the English and yelled "Freeedom!"). And even learn & eat all about Scotland's national Dish - Haggis.

Ibis Budget Glasgow (or similar)

Breakfast

Day 6: Glasgow

High on life? Same, bestie. Same. But it's sadly time to say goodbye to our spirited love affair with this wonderful place. Grab your final breakfast of the trip, and bid your farewells. Don't be too sad tho, there are plenty more places just waiting to be explored!
