Scotland Tours
Join us on a small-group cultural tour of Scotland, where expert lecturers and their fresh perspectives allow insight into this country’s unrivalled cultural and natural richness.
On our escorted tours of Scotland, we journey beyond the jagged coastlines: staying on Skye, study the breathtaking ruins of Armadale Castle, or join a private tour of Orkney’s ongoing archaeological digs. Back on the mainland, we traverse heather-clad interiors and looming mountains: Dunnotar, Haddo and Floors Castle are all visited on our tour of Scottish Castles and Houses.
On a tour of Scottish gardens from ornate and subtropical Inverewe, to the walled gardens of Cawdor, Highland horticulture is bound to surprise. Names rich in history—Culloden, Balmoral, and the iconic Jacobite steam train—distinguish our Scotland history tour, which follows the story of a nation across centuries of change.
The towns and cities of Scotland also present an enthralling proposition. We scour the best galleries on our Scottish art tour: Aberdeen and Glasgow are packed with wonders, from works by Margaret MacDonald and Charles Rennie Mackintosh to Chinese ceramics and Rembrandts. In Edinburgh, we walk medieval streets from the castle to graceful Georgian squares.
