Days  1-3: Fly into Edinburgh, rest for awhile or meander the Royal Mile  before meeting for a group dinner. Our first three days and nights will  be spent in Edinburgh, seeing the sights around the gothic capital city  of Scotland, including a visit to nearby Rosslyn Chapel and Glen. During  our stay in the city, you may choose to meander through storybook  neighborhoods and mysterious wynds and closes (narrow walking paths off  of the streets) and hear some of the fascinating history that spans  generations. You'll have a chance to explore the Royal Mile, museums and  historical monuments while enjoying sights, sounds and tastes that are  sure to be memorable. In the evenings, we will gather for great Scottish  music and perhaps sample a single malt or two. Our home in Edinburgh  will be the Radisson Blu Hotel in the City Centre.

​

Day  4-6: We travel to Dunkeld, the heart of Scotland, where we will take  short day trips. James will share some of the dramatic history that has  spawned legends such as William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, and Mary  Queen of Scots while visiting sites such as Dunkeld Cathedral, Blair  Atholl Distillery, the Birks of Aberfeldy, the Hermitage, and nearby  Pitlochry. In the evenings, we will host some of our very favorite  musicians or join pubs for more live music. Our three night home in  Dunkeld will be Tay House.

​

Day  7-9: We travel to Inverness, known as the ‘Highland Capital’, though it  still retains its market town feel. We will visit ancient Clava Cairns,  Urquhart Castle, and other local treasures. You'll have a bit of free  time to stroll the river that runs through the city. We will host a  world class musician for a private hotel concert and visit iconic pubs,  MacGregor's and Hootenanny's for more music. Our hotel home will be Lochardil House.

​

Day  10: We journey back to Edinburgh for an afternoon of your own  exploration before meeting for our farewell group dinner and overnight  in Edinburgh.

Day 11 Leave for the airport for those returning home.
