The
Edinburgh and Military Tattoo is one of the finest shows on
earth. Combine this fantastic display with exploring the
wonderful Scottish scenery. |
3 Day Break (9 and 16 August
2009)
Day 1: Travel from a local
joining point, arriving at our hotel this evening for a two night
stay. Dinner
Day 2: EDINBURGH and
MILITARY TATTOO. Walk the Royal Mile, the historically linked
streets that run through the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town. There is
also a great choice of pubs, restaurants and tea shops to try when
you are not exploring. In the evening, we take our seats for the
Edinburgh Military Tattoo, first performed in 1950 as the Army in
Scotland's contribution to the Edinburgh International Festival.
Today, with its unique blend of music, ceremony, entertainment and
theatre, set against the amazing backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, it's
one of the world's greatest shows. Breakfast
Day 3: GRETNA GREEN. On
our return journey, we visit Gretna Green, a wedding venue for
eloping couples since 1745. The area is steeped in romantic history
of couples running away and being married 'over the anvil' by the
blacksmith. In those days, one could not marry in England and Wales
before the age of 18 without parental consent. It now has a
veritable 'wedding industry' all of its own. Continue our journey
home. Breakfast
5 Day Break (10 and 17 August
2009)

Service from a local joining point, arriving at your hotel this
evening for a 4 night stay. Dinner
Day 2: STIRLING and
TROSSACHS. We travel through the hills, mountains and lochs of The
Trossachs to Stirling, the ancient capital of Scotland. From the
castle, the surrounding landscape is a wonder, and is also known as
'Braveheart Country', made famous by Hollywood's interpretation of
the life of William Wallace, Scotland first freedom fighter.
