DAYS 2-3 (4 day holiday) or DAYS 2-4 (5 day holiday) At
leisure, Edinburgh Tattoo & and one included excursion.
Edinburgh & the Edinburgh Military tattoo: (Please note:
On 5 day holidays the Tattoo excursion may operate on a
different day). Upon arrival in Edinburgh, time permitting you
will have the opportunity of joining an optional* Guided City
Tour. Tour both sides of Scotland's capital city - the Old Town
and the Royal Mile, views to the oldest volcano in the UK, the
Palace of Holyroodhouse - the Queen's Official Residence in
Scotland - and the new Parliament Building. See the statue and
hear the story of Greyfriar's Bobby - the Skye terrier. See too,
Edinburgh's Georgian New Town and the fine Adam-designed
Charlotte Square. And throughout the tour we'll be in the
shadow of Edinburgh's majestic Castle. This evening we climb
the ramparts of Edinburgh Castle and take our seats for the
world famous Tattoo. As hush falls and darkness deepens, the
great oak gates of the Castle sweep open and the swell of the
pipes and drums cracks through the night sky. As the massed
bands march out in their hundreds across the drawbridge,
flanked by effigies of William Wallace and Robert The Bruce,
emotions run high. This matchless spectacle unfailingly
enthrals, symbolising the Scotland that everyone holds dear in
their heart. The tunes are echoes of a glorious and often tragic
past, of freedom and glory and of suffering and loss. Every
Edinburgh Tattoo begins with this vivid and intensely emotional
display. For these are Scotland's finest fighting men (pipers and
drummers are soldiers first, musicians second) playing the
stirring tunes that over the centuries have given courage and
inspiration on battlefields in every corner of the globe. A
dazzling show is spread out on the Esplanade, a whirling and
colourful kaleidoscope of music, dance and display. It may be
exciting daredevil motorcycles at speed and the breathtaking
re-enactment of battles, or exotic - Turkish music and Chinese
dancers, or simply the best of Scottish - Highland dancers
wheeling and swirling to a fiddle orchestra. Such is the blend of
home and international talent that the show is always fresh,
exciting and alive.
The Scottish Borders, Peebles, Melrose and Moffat (For
guests staying at The Tinto Hotel): After breakfast, we
explore Scotland’s Border Country, famous for the writer Sir
Walter Scott, inspiring many of his works. We stop at the
border towns of Peebles and Melrose, and take the chance to
visit 2 of the most famous abbeys in the area. Melrose Abbey is
rumoured to be the burial place of the heart of Robert the
Bruce, and Dryburgh Abbey is the burial place of the author Sir
Walter Scott, and another famous Scot, Field Marshal Haig. We
return to our hotel via Moffat.
North Pennines, High Force & Hadrian’s Wall (For guests
staying at the Holiday Inn Washington): This excursion
takes us through the dramatic North Pennines countryside,

sandy beaches, freshwater lochs, rolling moorland hills and
unrivalled birdwatching. It’s just 13 miles to travel right across
North Uist and onto Berneray, home to a friendly community
and reputedly one of HRH Prince Charles’ favourite
destinations. From here, board the ferry that crosses the Sound
of Harris onto the Isle of Harris, which offers an incredible

colonies in the UK, the Isle of Lewis is a haven to all forms of
wildlife, with many species found nowhere else in the country.
Its history and heritage is there to be discovered too, and the
island bursts with archaeological sites. On a circular tour of the

fortification dating back over 2000 years, and enjoy an
included visit to the Calanais Standing Stones, one of the bestpreserved megalithic sites in the whole of Scotland

Optional* excursion - Belfast Explorer: Situated at the
mouth of the River Lagan, Belfast is a handsome city reflecting
the wealth it enjoyed during the Industrial Revolution. Take a

Shankhill Roads where politically inspired murals can be seen.

moved here to create a living Folk Park with demonstrations of
traditional crafts and industries. Also visit the transport
museum, dominated by the Irish Railway Collection..

with an optional sightseeing tour of the city (time
permitting),.before travelling onto Dun Laoghaire for the ferry to
