HOLIDAY HIGHLIGHTS

1881 Gin Distillery – Tour & Tasting   |   Traditional Burns Supper   |   Peebles   |   Edinburgh

 

DAY ONE - Arrival

We depart from your home pick-up, join our coach and travel north into Scotland arriving in Peebles during the early evening.  On arrival at the Hotel we will meet your hosts with a welcome drink with pie or cake.  Afterward, time to settle in before dinner this evening.

 

DAY TWO – Peebles and Gin-Tour & Tasting

You have this morning to spend at your leisure. Stroll into the nearby town of Peebles where you’ll find a selection of independent shops, galleries and coffee shops to explore. Or perhaps simply relax at the hotel and enjoy its excellent leisure facilities and gardens.

 

In the afternoon, we enjoy a 1-hour Gin-Tour & Tasting in the hotel’s very own 1881 Gin Distillery. With a G&T in hand, discover more about the history of the hotel and how spring water is turned into gin. See the copper still, ‘Felicity’ in action, and taste some of the 1881 premium gins made on site.

 

After your tasting, you have time to relax before getting ready for tonight’s Burns Night Themed Dinner including the address of the haggis and a piper.

 

DAY THREE – Edinburgh

Today we head to the city of Edinburgh where we have a full day to explore at your own pace. The city is dominated by the magnificent Edinburgh Castle, an ancient fortress built on a volcanic crag. It is the most visited attraction in Scotland. Other attractions include the gardens on Princes Street, the Old Town, The Royal Mile leading to Holyrood House, the Scotch Whisky experience, and much more. We return to the hotel for our final evening meal and drink.
