Edinburgh & St. Andrews 2 Day Guided Tour
Specially designed with families in mind DAY 1 A short journey takes us to the Capital where we visit the mighty fortress of Edinburgh Castle. Formerly a palace, a treasury, and a prison, the castle houses the Scottish Crown Jewels, the “Stone of Destiny” upon which Scottish Kings were crowned, and the famous 15th-century gun Mons Meg. The castle is also a working barracks where the Royal Regiment of Scotland are billeted. The earliest, and smallest building, is St. Margaret`s Chapel which sits on the highest part of the castle. This Norman building dates back to the early twelfth century and was built by King David I in honour of his mother Queen Margaret who was later canonised. Edinburgh Castle has been besieged many times and was taken when attacked by the English King Edward I during the Scottish Wars of Independence in 1296. It was recaptured and destroyed, except for St Margaret`s Chapel, by the Earl of Moray in 1313. The annual Military Tattoo is staged on the floodlit esplanade, overlooked by the battlements. On leaving the castle we embark on a walking tour on to The Royal Mile for sightseeing and shopping. Exciting places we visit include Camera Obscura and World of Illusions where you will be captivated by the unique experience known as the “Eye in the Sky”. We then stop for lunch at “The Birthplace of Harry Potter”, The Elephant House where J.K.Rowling was inspired to write much of her early novels. Nearby we find the statue of Greyfriers Bobby, the wee Skye terrier who guarded his master’s grave for 14 years. Across the street we enter the unmissable National Museum of Scotland. Take in the spectacle of the life-size T-Rex and see Dolly the Sheep, the first cloned mammal ever to be created from an adult cell. Our city tour continues as we drive around The Palace of Hollyrood House, The Scottish Parliament Building and along The Royal Mile. As we leave the “Old Town”, we cross Waverley Bridge and pass the Scott Monument on our way out of the city and onward to enjoy views of the Forth Bridge. Crossing the River Forth, we enter the Kingdom of Fife and head towards St Andrews, where we take dinner and stop for the night. DAY 2 Morning begins with shopping and sightseeing in St. Andrews, with opportunities to visit the Cathedral, the Castle ruins and Visitor Centre and The British Golf Museum. We take lunch at the 9 hole Balgove Golf Course. No need to pre-book your round of golf here, just arrive, pick up your golf clubs and tee off. This course is great for families, children and beginners, offering everyone a great golfing experience at world-famous St Andrews. By mid-afternoon we say goodbye to St. Andrews and take a walk on the wildside at The Scottish Deer Centre where we watch the wolves being fed and see the bird of prey demonstrations in the indoor theatre. Passing through the picturesque villages of Fife and the town of Stirling, we continue through the Trossachs and arrive back in Glasgow at around 8 pm. BOOK NOW |
