Flavours of Scotland: A Culinary and Hiking Adventure

Day 1 - Saturday 7^th June - Welcome to Scotland

On arrival at the airport, you will be met by your private guide who will be with you every step of the way. Your first stop is the historic university town of St Andrews. Spend your morning learning about the history of this university town. Leaving the bustling streets behind you, your guide can take you on a hike along the Fife Coastal Path to see the Rock and Spindle, a spectacular natural eroded volcanic plug, that is of similar formation to the rock that Edinburgh Castle is built on. The views from here are stunning so keep your eyes peeled for all of the local wildlife. Later, leaving the coast behind, head towards your accommodation for the next few nights in Pitlochry.

Enjoy a private guided tour of the farm, meeting the animals and learning how the land is nurtured, before indulging in a farm-tasting lunch of fresh, seasonal produce.

Feeling full and replete, head back to Dunkeld to your accommodation where, after dinner, relax together and listen to a local storyteller sharing stories of the past and Scottish legends that have been handed down through families over hundreds of years. Share your own stories of your trip, laugh about your new family memories and enjoy your last night in the Scottish Highlands.

Day 4 - Tuesday 10^th June - Exploring Edinburgh

This morning say goodbye to the Scottish Highlands as you are collected at your accommodation by a private driver and transferred to Edinburgh. Drop your luggage at your hotel, before setting off to immerse yourselves in the winding cobbled streets of historic Old Town Edinburgh as you enjoy a private walking tour with an expert local guide. Discover the highlights of this unique capital city from the Palace of Holyroodhouse all the way up the ‘Royal Mile’ to the mighty ancient fortress which is Edinburgh Castle itself. Walk the ramparts atop castle rock and hear the tales of the One O’Clock gun and the stories of locals of times past. Your guide will leave you here so that you can spend as much time in the castle as you wish.

This evening, as your incredible Scottish adventure comes to a close, take a moment to reflect on the memories made—whether it was the breathtaking landscapes, the unforgettable experiences, or the warm hospitality of the people you met along the way.
