Itinerary of the trip

Day 1: Arrival flight to Edinburgh

The perfect way to arrive in Scotland is a visit to Edinburgh, one of the world’s most versatile cities. The medieval feel of the cobbled streets of Old Town is perfectly balanced with the more modern and Victorian architecture of the New Town. These two quarters are separated by the ever-lively and pretty Princes Street Gardens, both districts have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Edinburgh Castle is another must see for history buffs. If you still have the energy, remember to visit the National Museum of Scotland. To close the day we recommend you take a stroll up to Calton Hill, where you can capture the best panoramic views of the city.

Day 2: St Andrews, Glamis Castle, Dunkeld and Pitlochry

It’s time to go on tour, the day has come to pick up your rental car and hit the road. After crossing the Firth of Forth, alongside the the iconic Forth Rail Bridge, you will head north and enter Scotland’s rolling lowlands. The first stop along the way is St Andrews, one of Scotland’s oldest towns and famous worldwide as the birthplace of golf. We then recommend a visit to Glamis Castle, famous for it’s notorious ghost stories, and then onwards to discover the beautiful Dunkeld Cathedral, on the banks of the River Tay. Tonight you will stay in Pitlochry, a picturesque Victorian village ideal to spend a romantic evening together.

Day 3: Bruar Waterfalls, Queen's View, Stirling Castle, Edinburgh

A stone's throw from Pitlochry you will find the spectacular Bruar Waterfalls and magnificent Queen's View, where you can capture the outlook that stole the heart of Queen Victoria in 1866. Next stop is Stirling. Scotland’s history was heavily influenced by events that took place in this beautiful medieval town, in particular the battles of Stirling Bridge and Bannockburn. A visit to Stirling Castle provides a grand view of the impressive National Monument to William Wallace. On joining the M9 motorway, be sure not to miss the giant sculptures of the Kelpies to your right, the famous horses of Celtic mythology will announce that you will soon be arriving back in Scotland’s capital city of Edinburgh.
