Additional Information

We’ll kick off our exclusive driving journey with a stop at Rosslyn Chapel, an architectural gem from the 14th Century, popularized by the Da Vinci Code. At this chapel, get ready for a fill of mystery and intrigue.

A short ride later and we’re amidst the glorious landscapes of the Scottish Borders. Our subsequent stop is Melrose Abbey, a grand ruin that offers a chance to visit. This location is also the resting place of the heart of Robert the Bruce, one of Scotland’s notable figures.

Next, we mesmerize our senses with Scott’s View, widely appreciated as one of Scotland’s most beautiful panoramas.

Floors Castle will be our next attraction. It boasts the title of the largest inhabited castle in Scotland and is the ancestral home of the Duke of Roxburghe. Constructed in 1721 for the 1st Duke of Roxburghe, the evolving history of the house and its gardens is readily visible.

The penultimate stop on our tour is Abbotsford House, once the residence of the renowned writer Sir Walter Scott. These days, it serves both as a museum and a tribute to this influential figure.

Scottish Highlands and history - Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed the tour today. Maybe the best tour I have ever been on. Graham was fantastic! Tremendous knowledge of history that he is able to relate in an understandable and humorous fashion.  The Highlands themselves exceed my ability to describe with words.  Thank you again for all your efforts
