Experience the spectacle of marching bands when you visit the Edinburgh Tattoo by train, with pipes and drums resonating from the castle's elevated setting. Complimenting the trip, witness incredible lochs, glens and mountains as we explore the West Highlands.
Your tour begins in Glasgow, where your Tour Manager will be waiting for you at the hotel. Take some time to settle in, or explore Glasgow at leisure before we meet for dinner in the hotel.
We set out by coach for the Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway for our trip on one of the lovingly-restored locomotives. The line takes us along the shore of the Forth and climbs into the hills, before pulling into Birkhill, a picturesque town set on a wooded incline.
We continue on to Scotland's cosmopolitan capital, where we have time to explore the city and enjoy dinner (payable locally) before settling into our seats for the highlight of our trip, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. This musical spectacular, featuring the massed pipes and drums of the Scottish regiments, is set against the magnificent backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, perched high above the ancient city.
Enjoy a free day in the city of Glasgow. You may wish to discover one of the city's many museums or perhaps venture to one of the parks.
We set off today on the enchanting West Highland Line, renowned for its incredible views across the Scottish countryside. Sit back and relax in your seat as the train carries us along the banks or rippling lochs and through verdant forests, past cascading waterfalls and streaming down craggy rock-faces. Rugged peaks and untamed moorland stretch as far as the eye can see, and we reach Fort William under the looming bulk of Ben Nevis.
After time for lunch, we take a boat for a wonderful cruise on Loch Linnhe. We enjoy the alternative views of the dramatic mountain scenery and the chance to spot local wildlife, before returning by coach to Glasgow through the Glencoe region and Loch Lomond. Back at our hotel this evening, we enjoy a final farewell dinner.
After breakfast this morning you are free to say your goodbyes and leave Glasgow.
