Trip Highlights

Take in sweeping countryside views from your elegantly decorated room at your Feature Stay – Pittodrie House, a historic manor house set on a 970-hectare estate in Aberdeenshire.

Cruise the serene waters of Loch Lomond past Ben Lomond and Inchmurrin Island – home to the ancient ruins of Lennox Castle and the former King of Scotland. Soak in the scenery of shoreline castles and keep an eye out for the legendary Nessie!
Go on a private guided tour of Stirling Castle, the childhood home of Mary Queen of Scots, and see Dunnottar Castle – a medieval fortress on the rocky headland above Stonehaven’s coast.
Try your hand at tartan weaving during a workshop at Radical Weavers in Stirling, then taste your way through the ‘Malt Whisky Country’ during your visit to a local distillery along the Speyside Whisky Trail.
