is a Cal Discovery Tour that George really wanted to do. Me? Have spent enough time in Scotland that my emphasis is more on visiting people that I know and less on being in a group. None the less – here we are.The official dates are Aug 16-25
We flew into Edinburgh a few days early and transferred to Glasgow where the tour starts.
The itinerary:
Day 1 – fly from the US (Sat Aug 16 for most of the folks)
Day 2 – arrive in Glasgow- Welcome dinner, after hours Art Gallery and Museum tour
Day 3 – Glasgow – New Lanark – Glasgow . breakfast, bus trip, tea , back to Glasgow
Day 4 Glasgow – Stirling – Glencoe Stirling Castle followed by a smokehouse & whiskey tasting (skipping both of these thank you very much) then on to the Glencoe National Nature Reserve
Day 5 – Glencoe – Scottish Highlands. Castles, quaint village walks, Loch Lomond boat cruise
Day 6 – Loch Ness – Inverness. Memorials, castles, cruise on Loch Ness
Day 7 – Inverness – Aberdeen. Battle Fields, Cairns, more whiskey
Day 8 – Aberdeen, St Andrews – Edinburgh – castles, more driving, Military Tattoo
Day 9 – Edinburgh – tour the town, Holyroodhouse, farewell dinner
Day 10 – Edinburgh – and home for those leaving that day.
