Days 1-3: Fly into Edinburgh, rest for awhile or meander the Royal Mile before meeting for a group dinner. Our first three days and nights will be spent in Edinburgh, seeing the sights around the gothic capital city of Scotland, including a visit to nearby Rosslyn Chapel and Glen. During our stay in the city, you may choose to meander through storybook neighborhoods and mysterious wynds and closes (narrow walking paths off of the streets) and hear some of the fascinating history that spans generations. You'll have a chance to explore the Royal Mile, museums and historical monuments while enjoying sights, sounds and tastes that are sure to be memorable. In the evenings, we will gather for great Scottish music and perhaps sample a single malt or two. Our home in Edinburgh will be the Radisson Blu Hotel in the City Centre.

Day 4-6: We travel to Dunkeld, the heart of Scotland, where we will take short day trips. James will share some of the dramatic history that has spawned legends such as William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, and Mary Queen of Scots while visiting sites such as Dunkeld Cathedral, Blair Atholl Distillery, the Birks of Aberfeldy, the Hermitage, and nearby Pitlochry. In the evenings, we will host some of our very favorite musicians or join pubs for more live music. Our three night home in Dunkeld will be Tay House.

Day 7-9: We travel to Inverness, known as the ‘Highland Capital’, though it still retains its market town feel. We will visit ancient Clava Cairns, Urquhart Castle, and other local treasures. You'll have a bit of free time to stroll the river that runs through the city. We will host a world class musician for a private hotel concert and visit iconic pubs, MacGregor's and Hootenanny's for more music. Our hotel home will be Lochardil House.

Day 10: We journey back to Edinburgh for an afternoon of your own exploration before meeting for our farewell group dinner and overnight in Edinburgh.

Day 11 Leave for the airport for those returning home.
