Days 1-3: Fly into Edinburgh, rest for awhile or meander the Royal Mile before a meet and greet to toast our journey. 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. During our time here, Shannon will also host a morning workshop to set the stage for our time together. Our home in Edinburgh will be the Radisson Blu Hotel in the City Centre.
Day 4-6: We travel to Dunkeld, but first we journey to Rosslyn Chapel, truly a place of mystery and legend. Then on to Perthshire, the heart of Scotland, where we will meander charming villages and take short day trips. You'll hear 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, Birnam Wood, 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. Shannon will host morning talks in the "Boathouse" along the River Tay. 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. We'll take a peaceful walk to the magical Fairy Glen Falls and be inspired by an afternoon workshop with Shannon. You'll have a bit of free time to stroll the river that runs through the city and we'll drive through majestic Highland scenery to Dunrobin Castle. During our time here, we'll host a world class musician for a private hotel concert and visit iconic pubs. Our hotel home will be The Beaufort
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, once again at the Radisson Blu.
Day 11 Leave for the airport return flights or onward journeys.
