July 3-13, 2027

Day One: Arrive in Edinburgh, Scotland's lovely capital city with history around every corner and down every dark close and wynd. You'll have time to meander the city (we'll give you suggestions!) or rest a bit before we gather for an informal meet and greet. Dinner is on your own this evening and there are many choices just out the hotel doors. 

Day Two: After breakfast, we'll have our opening circle to share what we are most looking forward to (we really listen to this and sometimes add in last minute things from what you share). You'll have much of this day on your own to visit museums or other iconic spots (don't worry, we will give you a guide). Then we'll meet for a guided tour around Old Town mid afternoon. In the evening, we'll have our first group dinner and private concert in the hotel. 

Day Three: Let's gather after breakfast for a whirlwind slide show history lesson that's fast and entertaining from one of our best Edinburgh friends. This will set the stage for all the stories you'll hear long the way. You'll have this last day in Edinburgh on your own to choose among all the sights to enjoy. 

Day Four: Our coach picks us up for a journey to Rosslyn Chapel and Glen, a 15th century Chapel that's inspired mysteries, tall tales and legends. On our way to Dunkeld, we'll make a detour to a special place that we rarely take groups to visit. After that, we're on to Dunkeld & Birnam (sister towns connected by a stunning bridge over the River Tay) where you'll have some time to wander the picturesque village before our group dinner and private concert.

Day Five: We'll stay close to home today and visit Dunkeld Cathedral and meet with some local friends for history and music. You may want to visit the Beatrix Potter museum and garden in Birnam or walk along the river or wander through the quaint shops. In the evening, we can gather for an informal music session.

Day Six: This is a day in Nature with a walk through the series of waterfalls that inspired Robert Burns. The Birks of Aberfeldy is a tour favorite. You can walk at your own pace and choose a local cafe for lunch afterward. You'll have some time in Aberfeldy before the coach takes us back to Dunkeld. Dinner is on your own as no one ever has enough time to explore Dunkeld and Birnam. That night, we'll have a private concert at the Golf Course.

Day Seven: We head to the Highlands today with a fun stop along the way. We'll stay close to Inverness for the next three nights and learn so much about the history of this fascinating area. 

Day Eight: Let's visit a local castle and ancient stone circle and cairns then meander on to the Black Isle for some beach walks. In the evening, we'll have a private concert to remember.

Day Nine: How about a cultural experience with some of our friends in Inverness? Today, you'll learn all about the history of Tartan (it isn't what you think) and the culture of whisky along with stories of generations of Highlanders. This is a curated experience just for you and I don't want to give too much away! Just for fun, let's have another private concert at the hotel after dinner. 

Day Ten: After breakfast, we'll board the coach and head back to Edinburgh with some side stops along the way. Our farewell dinner is tonight and we'll share memories and toast new friendships. 

Day Eleven: Flights back home or onward journeys. 

Did you know?

Our tours are different than most. We follow a model of Regenerative Tourism, meaning we strive to leave a place better than we found it. Tours are carefully curated to support Scottish communities and be mindful of areas that are overtouristed. You will be seeing Scotland with local guides and friends who show up to share music and stories. You will not be seeing this enchanting land through a coach window with quick stops. We take our time and a portion of every tour goes back to conservation efforts in the areas we visit. Thanks for supporting small businesses and community efforts around Scotland!
