Our Brand New Music Tour Route will begin with a morning coach pick up in Edinburgh on Septembr 3rd. We'll take a scenic and historic ride to the Scottish borders, where our hotel home will be Peebles Hydro Hotel & Spa  for three nights.

During our time in this enchanting part of Scotland, we'll visit iconic Melrose Abbey where King Robert the Bruce's heart is famously buried, Walter Scott's Abbotsford House, Hadrian's Wall, the Great Tapestry of Scotland gallery, Thirlestane Castle, botanic gardens and quaint villages. We'll relax in the charm of some roads less traveled while listening to great music in the evenings. 

From the Borders, we will travel to Perthshire for the next three nights and visit an old favorite for those who have come on past tours. Dunkeld's Tay House will be our hotel home. We will have the place to ourselves and guests often like to gather for sessions in the cozy living room or Boathouse down by the River. We'll visit a gorgeous sustainable farm for a tractor ride and photos along a scenic loch. During our time here, we'll meet with local friends for walks and talks, visit Innerpeffray Library, Scotland's first lending library founded in 1680 and meet Lara "the keeper of the books" (yes, I want to be this when I grow up) for a lovely history and perusal. We'll also take in some of the history of the area with local experts and enjoy time along the river and the area's rich music. 

From Perthshire, we'll head further up the road to Kyle of Lochalsh, the land of castles, hills and lochs. From our hotel base, we'll visit some iconic sites such as Eileen Donan castle as well as lesser known treasures with local friends. We'll make the short drive to the stunning village of Plockton with sandy beaches and palm trees, a hidden coral beach and castle walk.  We'll also visit the turquoise waters of the Fairy Pools on Skye and enjoy world class music.  

For our final night, we will journey back to Edinburgh for a group dinner, memory sharing and farewell.

Note: this tour begins the morning of the 3rd so you'll need to arrive in Scotland on the 2nd (which of course means you'll leave the U.S. on the 1st). The night of the 2nd is on your own. However, our friends at Radisson Blu are holding rooms for you with our group rate if you desire. The tour ends the morning of the 13th and our last group activity is dinner on the 12th.

Note:  There are no single rooms left for this tour, but we do have double rooms for those sharing.
