After a warm reception from your tour manager at your dedicated pick-up point settle in your comfortable coach as we set off on our journey. Crossing the Scottish border, you will stop at Gretna Green, where eloping couples would exchange their vows over the Blacksmith’s anvil and be bound to each other forever. Visit the Famous Blacksmiths Shop, in Gretna Green, which has over 260 years of history and heritage. It is now an excellent, award-winning wedding destination, with many attractions for visitors including shopping and restaurants. Resist the urge to tie the knot yourself and continue to the bold city of Glasgow. Here in the city tour visit Glasgow Cathedral, the oldest cathedral in mainland Scotland and the oldest building in Glasgow, George square, the famous University of Glasgow & many more. Later, we enjoy a lovely Indian dinner before checking in to the hotel.

Today morning after breakfast take a ride on the world’s one and only rotating boat lift, The Falkirk Wheel. A marvel of engineering and Scottish Canals’ flagship destination, The Falkirk Wheel. Connecting the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal in a half-turn that takes only five minutes. Enjoy the full experience of The Falkirk Wheel during your 50-minute boat trip. You will depart from the Falkirk Wheel basin ready to enter The Wheel’s lower gondola. Once the boat team have been cleared for rotation, you’ll then sail through the sky to join the Union Canal 35 meters above your starting position in only 5 minutes. After your first boat trip in the air, you will smoothly sail along the aqueduct, through the rough castle Tunnel (complete with its award-winning lighting installation) to the mouth of the Union Canal, before doing a full 180 degree turn and completing the entire trip in reverse. Our next stop will be at Helix Park, home of The Kelpies – the largest equine sculptures in the world. Standing at 100ft tall and weighing more than 300 tonnes each, the magical Kelpies are a man-made wonder and a feat of engineering. The Kelpies represent the lineage of the heavy horse of Scottish industry and economy, pulling the wagons, ploughs, barges and coalships that shaped the geographical layout of Falkirk. We then make our way to the capital city of Edinburgh. Upon arrival we enjoy a orientation tour of Edinburgh city, covering the princes street, Palace of Holyroodhouse and much more. Later we discover a world-famous icon Edinburgh Castle. Perched on a volcanic plug, Edinburgh Castle has dominated the skyline of Scotland’s capital city for centuries with its fine state apartments and ancient Scottish crown jewels. Cross the Royal Mile to see St Giles’ Cathedral and its crown shaped spire. Enjoy your dinner at one of our selected restaurants before making your way back to the hotel.

Today after breakfast, channel your inner Highlander as we embark on a journey north to the banks of Loch Lomond. We make our way along the scenic route towards Fort William, to visit the Nevis Range. On arrival, enjoy a cable car ride to the summit rising to 1,345 meters above sea level for breathtaking views of Ben Nevis the highest mountain in the British Isles. An ancient giant of the land, Ben Nevis was once a massive active volcano which exploded and collapsed inwards on itself millions of years ago. In Scotland, you can’t get any higher than this. Next, we have a photo stop at the Category A listed structure The Commando Memorial which stands some 17ft or 5.2m high and comprises a group of three bronze commandos dressed in typical World War Two uniforms and equipment including cap comforters, ammunition pouches and weapons. This monument was built in memory of the officers and men of the commandos who died in the Second World War 1939-1945. Later we make our way to the Glenfinnan Visitor center to have a photo stop of the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct and the Glenfinnan memorial. The Glenfinnan Viaduct is a railway viaduct on the West Highland Line in Glenfinnan, Inverness-shire, Scotland, built from 1897 to 1901. Located at the top of Loch Shiel in the West Highlands of Scotland, the viaduct overlooks the Glenfinnan Monument and the waters of Loch Shiel. Glenfinnan Viaduct has been used as a location in several films and television series, the famous one being four of the Harry Potter films. Glenfinnan Monument was erected in 1815, in tribute to the Jacobite clansmen who fought and died in the cause of Prince Charles Edward Stuart. The 18m-high monument was built here, with the lone, kilted highlander at the top providing a poignant reminder of the clansmen who gave their lives to the Jacobite cause.
Our final stop for today will be Neptune’s staircase, which is a staircase lock comprising eight locks on the Caledonian Canal. The system was originally hand-powered but has been converted to hydraulic operation. End the day with an amazing dinner at one of our selected restaurants before making your way back to the hotel.

Today morning after breakfast, we check out from the hotel and settle in for a scenic drive north to the Lake District. The Lake District is England’s largest National Park and is famous for its breath-taking scenery, abundant wildlife, and cultural heritage. We will be visiting Lake Windermere England’s largest lake, in the heart of the Lake District. Embrace the area’s heritage from a cruise on Lake Windermere in a spectacular voyage giving the traveller magnificent views of mountain scenery, secluded bays and the many wooded islands followed by an Experience and chug between Haverthwaite and Lakeside in an old-world steam train. Travel back in time when you climb aboard the steam train. A distant memory of bygone years for some and a new experience for others. In the later afternoon we drive back to our respective drop off points and bid farewell to all friends you have made on the tour.
