Day 6 – A Scottish farewell in Edinburgh
After breakfast, we say goodbye to Fort William and head back to
Edinburgh. Travelling by coach, our journey is awash with beauty,
with endless hills, pristine lochs and cascading waterfalls passing
by our windows as we drive through the afternoon.
We pause our route at the Falkirk Wheel. Opened in 2002, the
rotating boat lift connects the Forth & Clyde canal with the
Union canal and is the only one of its kind in the world. There's
time to admire this masterpiece and have lunch on your own before
we continue our drive to Edinburgh.
Once we've settled back in, you have some time to get
reacquainted with Edinburgh's winding alleyways and sprawling
squares before we enjoy our last evening in style. Bagpipes beckon
us to the Great Scots Hall at the Raddison Blu, where, after taking
our seats, we're served a wonderful Scottish banquet among the
traditional furnishings, latticed sandstone ceiling, painted
panels, and open flame fire.
Dinner - a multi-course affair of traditional cuisine - is
accompanied by time-honoured Scottish entertainment and customary
dress, creating the perfect farewell evening to your holiday.
