14th Century Castle and converted Stables nestled in 14 acres of wooded
parkland and landscaped gardens, providing a world of relaxation at one of
Scotland’s most exclusive country retreats. Enjoy the grandeur of your
hotel tonight
Day 2 Airth Castle Travel onto Stirling and visit Stirling Castle, magnificent both in its situation on a commanding rocky outcrop and in its architecture. Of outstanding interest are the Great Hall and the Gatehouse of James IV, the marvelous palace of James V; the Chapel Royal remodelled by James VI, and the artillery fortifications of the 16th and 18th centuries. The castle was a favourite royal residence and the birthplace of James II in 1430. See the weavers create a masterpiece in the Tapestry Workshop.
Day 3 Edinburgh – Royal Deeside You will depart in the direction of Aberdeen. You will visit Scone Palace, the home of the Earl of Mansfield. Scone is a castellated palace, enlarged and embellished in 1803, incorporating the 16th century and earlier palaces. The Moot Hill at Scone was the site of the famous Coronation Stone of Scone (The Stone of Destiny), brought there in the 9th century by Kenneth MacAlpine, King of Scots. In 1296, the Stone was seized by the English and taken to Westminster Abbey. In 1997 the Stone was returned to Scotland and is now in Edinburgh Castle. You will continue through Royal Deeside. Outside Aberdeen, visit Crathes Castle which has royal historic associations dating from 1323 when the Land of Leys were granted to the Burnett family by Robert the Bruce. The castle features some remarkable late 16th century painted ceilings. There is a large walled garden and the great yew hedges date from 1702 with fascinating examples of topiary. You will continue through Royal Deeside.
Day 4 Royal Deeside - Highlands
Travel northwards towards Inverness. In the morning follow the Whisky Trail and
visit one of the many famous distilleries in the area. You can visit
Glenfiddich, McCallums, Grants, Cardhu and many more. Each gives an
audio-visual show and then a guided tour of the distillery to learn of the
processes and for many the highlight is a tasting at the end of the tour. The
choice of what to see and do in the Speyside area is huge – there are
castles – Brodie, Cawdor (made famous by the Shakespeare’s Macbeth),
and Ballindalloch. Visit Culloden Moor, site of the last land battle on British
soil, wander around Inverness, capital of the Highlands, take the Strathspey
Railway from Boat of Garten to Aviemore, watch the Ospreys at Loch Garten.
Accommodation in Dingwall at Tulloch Castle. Tulloch Castle dates from the 12th
Century, when first the Bains and later the Clan Davidson laid claim to its
lands. Like its lively history, the Castle's fortunes have changed many times.
Now, it is once again a magnificent fortress, with a ready welcome for
travellers. When you arrive, you will be met with Tulloch’s countless
period features including the 250-year old panelled Great Hall. As you enter
the magnificent hallways you will pass by painstakingly restored original
fireplaces and ceilings and you will begin to realise that this is only the
start of an experience you will never forget.
Day 5 Highlands (Inverewe Gardens) Enjoy a day
visiting the West Coast of Scotland. Journey across to Ullapool, a quaint
fishing village. Then travel down past the dramatic Corrieshalloch Gorge to the
Inverewe Gardens, run by the National Trust for Scotland. These magnificent
gardens have a famous rhododendron collection and who would expect to find palm
trees in Scotland. Return through the magnificent scenery of the Torridon area
and past Loch Maree. Return to Dingwall.
Day 6 Highlands – West Coast Today travel
south via Loch Ness. Loch Ness forms part of the Caledonian Canal a feat of
some great engineering by Thomas Telford linking East Scotland with West by

Castle, a very scenic spot and also the place where the most sightings of
Nessie have been. Continue towards Fort William, which nestles beneath the
highest mountain in Great Britain – Ben Nevis. If time allows, why not
take a ride up in a gondola at Anoch Mor that on a good day will offer stunning
views over the west coast. From Fort William, continue south to Ballachulish.
