You begin on Edinburgh Castle’s esplanade, home of the Military Tattoo, before wandering St Andrews’ cobbled streets and enjoying cream tea at Atholl Palace, with the buttery sweetness of scones adding to your memories of Scotland. Travel north into the Highlands and on to Wick, where your choice experience takes you to Old Pulteney Distillery for a wee dram that warms the tongue. On Orkney, you explore Kirkwall’s 1,000-year-old Norse roots and stand among the ancient stones of the Ring of Brodgar, before sailing across open water to Skye, watching the island rise from the sea among the Inner Hebrides. Your journey ends in Glasgow, among its grand Georgian façades.
At a local restaurant, you'll join your Travel Director for dinner, catching the scent of something rich and savoury as the first plates arrive. On select departures, you take your seat on Edinburgh Castle's esplanade for The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Pipes pierce the evening air before drums roll through the grandstand while Highland dancers cross the arena and military performers march beneath the floodlit fortress as colour washes over the castle walls.
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.
