View of Edinburgh from Calton Hill with Edinburgh Castle in the distance
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!
