STIRLING CASTLE
@brookeartstudio
Stirling Castle is arguably the most impressive and historically important castle in Scotland. Seen for miles around, its imposing position has played a hugely strategic role throughout the centuries. Once home to the Scottish Royals, the building has been subject to many bloody sieges and much political intrigue.
Whisky divides people. You either love its fiery warmth or detest its full-on flavour. Either way, there’s a reason why it’s Scotland’s national drink and our biggest export. Whether you fall head over heels for our finest dram or banish it to the back of the drink’s cabinet, at least you can say you’ve tried it on Scottish soil and seen a little of our sexy country along the way.
We depart Edinburgh in the morning and make our way to the Kelpies, a gigantic monument to horse-powered heritage across Scotland.
We head deeper into the Highlands, where you can either dive into an awesome whisky distillery tour and taste a dram of Scotland’s famous national drink, or explore the little market town of Crieff, packed with quirky shops and cosy cafés.
After soaking in the stunning views of the Sma’ Glen, we’ll hit The Hermitage forest in Perthshire for a beautiful woodland walk through rivers and waterfalls. We wrap up our day in the charming riverside village of Dunkeld to grab a local treat or two. We return to Edinburgh in the early evening hours.
WHISKY DISTILLERY TOUR
Some people squish up their face. Some stamp their foot on the ground. Others let out a loud 'ahhhhh'. However you react to whisky, don't let it stop you from going on this fantastic optional guided tour. Learn the history behind Scotland's most divisive drink. You'll discover how it's made, and hopefully you'll discover how to love it.

ALNWICK CASTLE
The magnificent Alnwick Castle was built over 920 years ago. Its purpose was to control the border between Scotland and England. But now it’s renowned for more than bloody history. The art collection is unrivalled, and the rooms are some of the finest examples of 19th century Italianate design.
HIGHLAND GAMES
Pack your caber - we’re heading north to soak up the adrenaline-fuelled atmosphere of the Highland Games.
Kicking off in towns and villages across Scotland, the Games, or Gatherings, promise a truly Scottish experience, with a backdrop of sexy Highland scenery to boot.
The Highland Games are a world-renowned test of strength between friend and foe. Dating back over 900 years, these athletic, kilt clad contestants promise hammer throwing, caber tossing and some classic tug-o-war action. All whilst pipe band displays and Highland dancing add to the merriment.
With over 80 Highland Games to choose from, we've picked the very best events for our range of day tours. Each has its own local charm and character - showing off Scotland's unique culture and knock-out landscapes.
