Day One in Scotland
Edinburgh
“The most beautiful of all the capitals of Europe.”
* Poet John Betjeman
We will explore the great city of Edinburgh on foot. Alistair lived in Edinburgh for many years so knows the place like a local. We will walk the famous Royal Mile, exploring the secret back courts, hidden gardens and surprising medieval architecture, all the while sharing stories from the city’s present and past.
In our small group, we will visit the Palace of Holyrood House at the foot of the Royal Mile. This palace, and the ancient 12th century Abbey within the Palace grounds, have been at the heart of Scotland’s story since the very beginning. We’ll tour the beautifully appointed rooms, which are still used by the King and Queen today on their Royal Visits and for their famous annual Garden Party.
We will share a lunch together, included in the tour price.
This will be an unforgettably rich introduction to one of the finest cities on earth.
In the evening, we’ll drive north together for a shared dinner in Dundee, where we’ll overnight at the Malmaison hotel, a lovely 4 star hotel on the banks of the River Tay.
