Experience the beauty and magic of the Scottish Highlands through its castles, distilleries and remote islands. This 10-day trip kicks off with a performance of the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle. Visit St. Andrews, the birthplace of golf, before exploring the windswept moors of Culloden, the site of an epic battle that changed the course of Scottish history. In the Highlands, raise a glass to Scotland’s rich heritage of whiskey distilling. Hop on a ferry at John O’Groats to reach the stunning Orkney Islands. Take in more of Scotland’s beautiful landscape on the Isle of Skye as well Glen Coe. The trip ends in dynamic Glasgow, a design-driven city that’s home to the Scottish Opera and the National Theatre of Scotland.
