Tour Summary
Edinburgh Castle
Edinburgh Castle is one of the most exciting historic sites in Western Europe. Set in the heart of Scotland's dynamic capital city, it is sure to capture your imagination. The scenery will take your breath away.
Royal Yacht Britannia
A great day out for all, explore each of the five decks at this top attraction in Edinburgh and discover what life was like on board Queen Elizabeth II's former floating palace.
New Lanark
Founded in 1785 with a focus on philanthropy, education, and the welfare of mill workers, New Lanark became a model industrial community that inspired similar developments worldwide throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001, the ongoing conservation and promotion of this unique village—now an award-winning visitor attraction—is managed by the New Lanark Trust, in partnership with South Lanarkshire Council and Historic Environment Scotland.
Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum
The collections at Kelvingrove are extensive, diverse, and internationally significant. They span natural history, arms and armour, and artworks from a wide range of movements and historical periods. Among the highlights is Salvador Dalí’s masterpiece Christ of St John of the Cross, the museum’s most famous painting. Another visitor favourite is Sir Roger, the Asian elephant, and a Spitfire plane dramatically suspended from the ceiling of the West Court. The beautifully refurbished building is an attraction in itself, and the museum is especially welcoming to families, with many displays designed with children in mind.
Holyrood Palace Gardens
The gardens of the Palace of Holyroodhouse offer a peaceful retreat at the foot of Arthur’s Seat. Set against the backdrop of the historic palace, these beautifully maintained grounds feature sweeping lawns, seasonal floral displays, and the romantic ruins of Holyrood Abbey, blending natural beauty with centuries of royal history.
