Why “Musical?”  Because we'll not only:    

  • explore Edinburgh in depth with an expert, entertaining local guide,
  • see castles, mountains, glens, monuments, sheep (lots of sheep), rivers, lochs and the sea- all on our first day out of Edinburgh!
  • fill our cameras with beautiful scenes of the Highlands and Islands, local flora and fauna, and with luck some magic.
  • We'll visit historic sites, and sites of folktales, but don’t worry about having our schedule too full. We'll also have plenty of time to explore on our own.
  • We'll taste traditional food and, of course hear traditional stories from our talented and friendly tour guides.
  • plus Much More - please download the itinerary below, or click over to the tour company site.

We’ll also:    

  • enjoy several private concerts with local Celtic musicians 
  • and even one or two with me…
  • and other musicians in our group!
