Scottish Highlands & Balmoral

This fabulous 5-day coach holiday explores some of the most beautiful locations in Scotland – many with incredible royal connections. Spend time travelling through some of the most beautiful countryside that the Highlands of Scotland has to offer. You will get the chance to visit Balmoral Castle, the stunning historic Scottish residence of the Royal Family, with its equally impressive grounds. There will also be the opportunity to take in some of Scotland’s most famous views such as the beautiful Queen’s View panorama, much loved by Queen Victoria. You will have a good amount of free time to explore the places we visit – and that might just include a distillery or two if you plan your time right…

Your base for this tour is the local Salutation Hotel in the heart of Perth. A comfortable hotel that offers great Scottish hospitality and serves as the perfect base for this lovely midweek holiday.

An ideal choice for:

* Anyone who loves Scottish royal history and heritage
* People who have yet to discover Scotland but are curious to see what all the fuss is about
* Anyone who likes an itinerary packed with fascinating excursions
