3 DAY HIGHLANDS & SKYE TOUR |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Day 1 (Prices and conditions at bottom of page)Leaving Edinburgh at 8.30 a.m. we head straight for the Highlands. First stop is Stirling and Braveheart Country (William Wallace, King Robert the Bruce and Rob Roy) - you'll hear all the history and legends, with plenty of walks and time off the bus. Then we wind through some of Scotland's finest glens (stunning mountain valleys - if you didn't already know!), including Glen Garry, Glen Nevis and breathtaking Glencoe (hear about the massacre of Clan MacDonald). Then it's onto the Isle of Skye, our home for 2 nights.
|
| A full and active day round the
Isle of Skye, with lots of walks and time to take in the magic.
You'll see the Cuillin Mountains, the Old Man of Storr (an
incredible Jurassic pillar) and hear some amazing legends,
visit the fascinating Kilt Rock, and take in absolutely awe-inspiring
panoramas in the Quirang. Perfect preparation for a few wee
drams in the local pub, to reflect on a day of tales and legends. |
 |
Day 3
|
Our first stop is a visit to Eilean Donan Castle (where Highlander was filmed). Then lunch and an emotional visit to tragic Culloden battlefield (Bonnie Prince Charlie's last stand). A spot of monster hunting on Loch Ness (of course!). Our final stop (time allowing) is a gentle walk through the beautiful Hermitage Forest. Finally, home to Edinburgh, tired and happy honorary Scots!! |

BOOKING CONDITIONS
| The tour price of £65 excludes
all food and accommodation. A kitty system will be used in
which each passenger on the morning of departure will put the
full kitty amount (£30) in cash into a cash-box for the
use of the group. The group will use a proportionate amount
of
funds to cater for all dietary requirements. Those with a more
costly diet may have to subsidise their own special requirements
if their proportion of the kitty will not cover the cost. Dinner is cooked & washed up by the group. Any person not doing their bit may be a victim of various party / drinking games and may be ordered to wear a stupid wig to encourage humiliation. A person may not travel without paying the full kitty amount.
No tour refunds will be given upon refusal to pay the kitty.
The group will dispose of any remaining kitty funds democratically. |
