Heritage Hunter

Explore the diversity and heritage of Scotland on a 14 day tour from Edinburgh.

From our great capital city, to the Scottish Borders and the south-west corner of Scotland, into the Highlands and through our two National Parks in the Trossachs and the Cairngorms before reaching the coastal Kingdom of Fife on the east coast there is a lot to explore on this heritage tour of Scotland.

En-route you can enjoy visits to several historic places of interest to bring to life our unique culture, environment and wild and turbulent past, as well as stay a night in a Scottish castle too. From remarkable designs and buildings such as the Forth Rail Bridge, Rosslyn Chapel and historic Scottish castles and palaces such as Culzean Castle in Ayrshire, to historic whisky distilleries and relics of our famous Bard, “Rabbie Burns” your time in Scotland will be rich.  All of this can be discovered on a beautifully scenic and diverse route through Scotland.

We pride ourselves on a personal and quality service which offers a value for money tailored tour enabling a unique Scottish experience that suits you. If you are feeling inspired by this escape to Scotland feel free to get in touch here and we can start planning your adventure.
