Activity & Adventure Tour Summary
Time Traveler Tour: Travel over 5000 years in a single day. On this tour we will take a journey back in time to stone-age Scotland on a site dating back to 3,500 BC. We will walk in the footsteps of the mighty roman empire as it moved up into the central belt of Scotland. We’ll discover the turbulent history of Scotland’s struggle for independence and the intrigue of the royal lineage in the times of Mary Queen of Scots and on to Bonnie Prince Charlie and the doomed Jacobite rebellions. We will finally jump back to the present day with a tale of magnificent beasts.

Edinburgh City Highlights: This tour will take us into the heart of the old town walking from Holyrood House up the royal mile to Edinburgh Castle passing by a list of attractions and points of interest. We will take the best part of the morning to travel 2 miles on foot before heading out an a tour around the city in our mini bus.
