Description

Experience the magic of Scotland’s Lowlands on a full-day journey from Edinburgh, where history, legend, and whisky come together. Begin your adventure at the iconic Rosslyn Chapel, famed for its mysterious stone carvings and captivating tales, including those of the Knights Templar and the inspiration for "The Da Vinci Code."

After exploring the intricate beauty of Rosslyn Chapel, travel through scenic countryside to the historic town of Melrose. Here, you’ll have time to enjoy lunch and wander the charming streets, with the chance to view the exterior of Melrose Abbey, known as the resting place of Robert the Bruce’s heart.

As the tour continues, soak in the rolling landscapes of the Scottish Borders before arriving at Glenkinchie Distillery. One of the last remaining Lowland distilleries, Glenkinchie offers a fascinating look into traditional whisky-making, with an optional tasting session for those wishing to sample its renowned single malts.

Travel comfortably throughout the day in an air-conditioned vehicle, guided by a knowledgeable driver who brings Scotland’s stories to life. The tour lasts approximately eight hours and departs from a central location near Edinburgh Castle, making it easy to join and enjoy a seamless experience.

Suitable for most fitness levels and families with children over four, this tour is a perfect blend of culture, history, and flavor. Space is limited, so secure your spot now for an unforgettable day exploring the best of the Scottish Lowlands.
