Your Tour Itinerary Includes

Day 1: Arrive in Glasgow for your Scotland tour
A transfer is included from Glasgow International Airport to Cameron House, your Scottish baronial manor house hotel set on 100 acres of green lawns and wooded glades along the famous bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. Meet your Scotland travel companions at a welcome cocktail reception aboard a private cruise on Loch Lomond, followed by dinner at the hotel this evening.
Overnight: Cameron House, Loch Lomond, Scotland
Meals Included: Dinner

Day 2: Castles and a wee taste 'o malt whisky
Travel to the grand Scottish Renaissance Stirling Castle, perched on a hill high above the town. A private tour of the Glenturret Distillery reveals how Scotland's famed single malt whisky is made; enjoy tasting a wee dram of the finished product. Continue through Rob Roy country in the Trossachs, through rugged forests past Aberfoyle, back to your manor house hotel for an evening spent as you please.
Overnight: Cameron House, Loch Lomond, Scotland
Meals Included: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 3: Travel the Great Glen to the Highlands and Inverness
Tauck's Scotland tour takes you across moor and mountain on a scenic journey through the Highlands along the Great Glen, from Fort William to the shores of brooding Loch Ness. Stop at Fort Augustus to view the dramatic lochs along the Caledonian Canal, then continue to Inverness, capital of the Highlands.
Overnight: Kingsmills Hotel, Inverness, Scotland
Meals Included: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 4: Culloden, Cawdor Castle and Scottish culture
Explore many centuries of Scottish history on visits to the ancient burial site at Clava Cairns, the famous fields where the 1746 Battle of Culloden was fought, and medieval Cawdor Castle with its connections to Shakespeare's Macbeth. Learn about the history of clan tartans and Scottish kilts during a festive Scottish evening, complete with bagpipers and Highland dancers.
Overnight: Kingsmills Hotel, Inverness, Scotland
Meals Included: Breakfast, lunch, dinner

Day 5: Along the Yellow Roads to Blair Castle
Drive along Tauck's Yellow Roads as your Scotland tour continues through the Grampian Highlands and Cairngorm Mountains to Blair Atholl, the site of majestic Blair Castle. History comes alive as you imagine the life of the noble class in 16th-century Scotland; some 30 rooms contain relics of that age. Head south to Edinburgh, arriving late afternoon; your luxury hotel is set in the heart of the city.
Overnight: The Balmoral, Edinburgh, Scotland
Meals Included: Breakfast, dinner

Day 6: Explore Edinburgh... and perhaps a tattoo
Discover Scotland's lively capital city on a privately guided tour with a local expert, including visits to stately Edinburgh Castle, at the top of the Royal Mile, and Holyroodhouse, the Queen's official home when she visits Edinburgh (subject to closure when Her Majesty is in residence). A special Tauck highlight: If you choose a departure date for your Scotland tour between August 1 and 22, you'll have the unforgettable thrill of attending the world-famous Edinburgh Military Tattoo, performed by Scottish military units against the magical backdrop of Edinburgh Castle.
Overnight: The Balmoral, Edinburgh, Scotland
Meals Included: Breakfast

Day 7: A shrine to Golf – but so much more to see
For passionate golfers, lovely St. Andrews is an almost-holy place – and it comes as no surprise that this historic town has much more than just golfing history to offer. You have a choice today of joining us for a trip to this beautiful city by the sea – or alternatively, you can remain in Edinburgh for further exploration of the city's treasure trove of historic sites, museums, galleries and gardens on your own. Share memories of your remarkable Scotland tour with your traveling companions at a farewell cocktail reception and banquet dinner this evening.
Overnight: The Balmoral, Edinburgh, Scotland
