Pre & Post Convention Tours
Scotland with its dramatic and ever changing scenery has inspired
generations of travellers.
The stunning landscape is rich in history. The many castles which shelter in
the rolling border hills are reminders of struggles with English raiders.
West coast and highland ruins and settlements were once the seats of a
thriving Celtic culture, which can be uncovered still today. The romantic
appeal of this mythology is matched by the craggy splendour of historic
glens, where once fierce battles were fought.
Most of this compelling beauty is easily accessible, with excellent rail
links to the north and west and a network of quiet roads all over the
country.. There are castles, houses, museums and gardens all waiting to be
explored. Scotland’s unique craft industries are open to all too – choose
from cashmeres and tartans, glass and silver wear, or discover one of the
many distilleries delighted to open their doors to curious and thirsty
visitors.
Scotland’s towns and cities offer attractions of their own. Along Fife’s
East Neuk and up to Aberdeen and beyond, a series of fishing ports, rocky
cliffs and sheltered beaches offer the pleasures of the seaside. To the west
is Glasgow, home to great art collections and museums, and north are Perth
and Inverness, vibrant centres of Highland culture for generations. St
Andrews, the home of golf, is an hour’s drive from Edinburgh’s city centre.
Take time to discover Scotland – it’s a visit you won’t forget.
Enjoy a panoramic tour of the historic Old Town including a visit to
Edinburgh Castle, where the crown jewels of Scotland are on display, and the
Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Queen’s Royal residence. Or if you are looking
for something different why not meet the ghosts and ghouls of Edinburgh’s
haunted past on a spooky tour through the historical Old Town. Underground
Edinburgh tours visit the alleged origin of the Bubonic Plague in Edinburgh.
