Day 1: Following your home taxi service, you will join our luxury tour coach and we will make our way north to the four star Dryfesdale County House Hotel in Lockerbie for our overnight stay.
Day 2: This morning we depart our overnight hotel and head to Pitlochry. The centre of town is dotted with delightful shops, charming cafés and pubs. After our stop we continue our journey North, to Grantown-on-Spey, arriving late afternoon at the Grant Arms Hotel, for our 4 night stay on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis.
Day 3: Today we will experience an unforgettable 2 hour catamaran cruise on the Moray Firth for a chance to see the world’s most northerly population of Bottlenose Dolphins, along with other marine wildlife, including seals and otters. (Please note, boat trips are weather permitting and wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed). Should the cruise not be able to take place, an alternative attraction will be included.
This afternoon we head to Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, a thriving city with its historic old town and famous Leakey’s Bookshop. You can view this compact city from the top of Inverness Castle, marvel at the stunning St Andrew’s Cathedral or take a relaxing stroll along the banks of the River Ness. (attractions in Inverness subject to individual choice and payment).
Day 4: This morning we enjoy a ride on the Cairngorm Mountain Railway. This is the highest railway in Britain and a journey in one of the carriages will elevate you 462 metres over the length of its 1,970-metre track. The funicular is the only one in Scotland and a trip to the top of Cairngorm is likely to be the high point (no pun intended…) of your holiday. On a clear day, you can see all the way to Ben Nevis. (in the event the railway is unable to operate, an alternative attraction will be provided).
This afternoon we head to Aviemore which is surrounded by beautiful Highland scenery in the majestic Cairngorms National Park. Towering mountains, sparkling lochs and magical forests surround this bustling town. You can also visit the unique gift shops, walkers shortbread and one of the quaint tea rooms.

Nestled between two sprawling public parks, the elegant Georgian townhouses, cobbled streets and medieval spires, Perth boasts an array of outstanding monuments, art galleries and museums you can explore, as well as being able to take in the historic atmosphere by wandering the streets and nearby trails.
