Highlights

Edinburgh: A hush descends, and eyes turn to the castle. The skirl of the pipes rises and drums crack the night air as a tide of tunics and tartan flood from the drawbridge. For a limited time in August, witness the incredible spectacle of The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

Edinburgh: Explore Edinburgh Castle with your Local Expert to see the Scottish Crown Jewels and the Mons Meg up close.

Edinburgh: Explore the city with your Local Expert as you travel along Princes Street to see the Scott Memorial, the neoclassical Adam facades of New Town and the official Scottish residence of the King, Palace of Holyroodhouse.

St. Andrews: Spend time in St Andrews, a coastal university town shaped by old quadrangles, sea air and open links. Walk to the stretch of West Sands Beach where Chariots of Fire filmed its iconic scene, then look across the Old Course, regarded as the birthplace of modern golf.

Inverness: With your Travel Director, see the River Ness, Inverness Castle and beautiful scenery as you explore the history of this Highland city.

Inverness: At the Culloden Visitor Centre, you’ll discover why the Battle of Culloden lasted only an hour yet changed the Highland way of life forever.

Loch Ness: Travel along the shores of Loch Ness, taking in wide views and hearing stories of the legendary creature said to lurk beneath its dark water.

Orkney Islands: Visit the Italian Chapel, Kirkwall, the prehistoric homes of Skara Brae and the stone circle of Brodgar on a full day across the islands.

Isle of Skye: Take in Scotland’s wild beauty, from the jagged Cuillin Hills to the harbour village of Broadford.

Eilean Donan: Stop for a photo of this gorgeous castle built on an island in the Loch.

Fort William: Stop at the World War II Commando Memorial near Fort William, where bronze figures stand against a sweep of Highland landscape. From this quiet hillside, you get one of the clearest views of Ben Nevis, its ridges rising sharply above the glen.

Glencoe: Join your Travel Director for a gentle introduction to Glencoe, a Highland village set on the edge of Loch Leven. As you walk, mountain ridges rise on all sides and the stories of the glen help you understand the landscape that shaped them.

Loch Lomond: Spend time along the shores of Loch Lomond, where wooded islands, mirrored water and soft Highland light earn it the title ‘Queen of Scottish Lochs’. Wander the lakeside paths, take in the mountain views or simply pause to enjoy the stillness that settles over this iconic landscape.

Glasgow: Led by your Travel Director, take an easy orientation through Glasgow, where broad streets and bold Victorian architecture set the tone. Pause in George Square to take in its statues and grand civic buildings before continuing to St Mungo’s Cathedral, its dark stone and soaring interior hinting at the city’s medieval roots.

Itinerary

Scotland’s timeless charm unfolds on the nine-day 'Country Roads of Scotland' tour, a journey ideal for families and mature travelers seeking a mix of natural wonders and rich heritage. Start in Edinburgh’s historic heart before wandering through Glasgow’s elegant streets and sailing to the mystical Isle of Skye. Revel in the tranquility of the Orkney Islands, explore ancient Norse towns, and stand in awe before the Ring of Brodgar. Savor whisky tastings in Wick, stroll the cobbled lanes of St. Andrews, and indulge in cream tea at the stately Atholl Palace. The tour’s unique highlight is its deep dive into Scotland’s lesser-seen landscapes and traditions, offering a comprehensive cultural and scenic experience with a comforting pace.

The process from finding the tour we wanted to take to getting set up for the tour was an easy process. The other reviews we saw gave us the security of using their website to book our trip. The only item we missed which would have given a 5* was the trip did not include see the Alps up close or a train trip. Well maybe next time there may be one and we would definitely take that trip.
