There’s a magical aura to Edinburgh — thanks in no small part to the castle on the rock!
Edinburgh
As the capital of Scotland since the 15th century, Edinburgh carries a timeless charm; medieval and baroque buildings stand side by side along bustling cobbled streets. Looming over the city skyline is Edinburgh Castle — built atop Castle Rock, it’s served as a fortress, prison, military garrison, royal residence and, most recently, home to the Crown Jewels. A visit to the city with Globus will see you touring Old Town, the New Town and Edinburgh Castle in the morning, but the afternoon will be dedicated to your choice between two adventures: An in-depth walking tour of the New Town with a local guide or a guided exploration of the Royal Yacht Britannia. With the former, you’ll stroll the symmetrical grid of neoclassical houses and private gardens, absorbing the spirit of the Scottish Enlightenment along the way. With the latter, you’ll delve into the last of the floating palaces, touring the onboard state apartments, drawing room, Queen’s bedroom, sun lounge and crew’s quarters. With either, you’ll cap your day of adventure off with dinner and wine.

Pitlochry is the picture of utter tranquility.
Pitlochry
Perched on the banks of the river Tummel, Pitlochry is an idyllic town situated in the Scottish countryside. The air isn’t just crisp and clean; an element of tranquility hangs on the breeze. In terms of excursions, you’ve got options. Perhaps you’re aching for a proper pampering: a visit to the Pitlochry Spa should satisfy with its rejuvenating natural spring water and traditional afternoon tea and scones. Maybe you’d like to spend the day hitting the links at one of Scotland’s finest inland courses — the Pitlochry Golf Club. Or, maybe the enchanting past is calling out to you; the chance to explore the spectacular 16th century castle Menzies is certain to delight.

Inverness is a breath of fresh air, but for the soul.
Inverness
Regarded as the capital of the Highlands, Inverness is pastoral bliss manifest: Medieval ruins, Victorian markets, quaint streets and sprawling natural landscapes are all present here at the edge of the regal Loch Ness. You could enjoy it with a walking tour of the city — learning the history tied to local highlights like St. Andrew’s Cathedral, Inverness Castle and the Old High Church and Graveyard. Or you might enjoy a scenic bike ride through the natural beauty of the Highlands, tracing a route from Inverness to Beauly Firth to the Merkinch Local Nature Reserve out to the Moray Firth (and then back). If you’d be happy to just really delve into one location, you could go chasing Macbeth’s ghost at the Cawdor Castle; an estate filled with beautiful antique furniture, fine portraits, intriguing artifacts and ornate tapestries.
Obviously, the ideal way to experience all of the above is with a Globus tour — but did you know the best way to travel with Globus is through one of our travel agents?
