The massed Pipes and Drums of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo will ring in your ears long after you return home and the ‘Highland Games’ which can be found throughout the summer months will provide unforgettable memories of your trip with the world famous Braemar Gathering, held in the presence of members of the Royal Family on the first Saturday in September, the most traditional of them all.
The options are too great to cover in this website. We have to rely on you to tell us the type of things which you think relevant and allow us to consider all the options for you.
However, dislikes are just as important. Please do not hesitate to tell us things you definitely don’t want to do, places you don’t want to see and, of great significance, things you don’t want to eat. Nothing assists the managements of our various Hotels, B&Bs etc than knowing about food allergies before you sit down at a table. Tell us during the planning process and we will ensure your requirements are taken care of.
We encourage our Guests to give as much information as possible about their likes and dislikes. It could be history in which case we will consider places like Culloden, Bannockburn, Stirling Castle, Edinburgh Castle and the Wallace Monument for your tour. It could be sport in which case we will consider fishing on some of the great salmon rivers like the Spey and the Tay. It could be hiking in the Cairngorm Mountain area, Glencoe or Glen Nevis, and if its to be water sports we might consider Loch Insh or Loch Tay. For Genealogists, we will concentrate time in places of relevance to your family and for whisky lovers, we will create a route through the famous Whisky Trail with as many single malt distillery visits as you can handle. For Pipers and Pipe Bands visiting Scotland we can link contests and 'Highland Games' into an itinerary encompassing accommodation and transport.
Scotland's traditional music scene thrives. It could be traditional music either in formal settings, at folk festivals, or at the great informal sessions that can be found in bars throughout the country, or you could take in Glasgow's excellent 'Celtic Connections' Festival which attracts traditional musicians from throughout the world. There's classical music, ballet and opera in the great concert halls of Scotland's cities with the world famous Edinburgh International Festival standing above the rest.
