DAY ONE – Arrival

We depart from your home and travel north through the borders to Dundee and our hotel just 5 miles from the city. You will be greeted with tea/coffee or hot chocolate whilst your luggage is taken to your room.

 

DAY TWO – Dundee

Today we have the day at leisure in Dundee. With its compact size and streets packed with all sorts of treasures Dundee is an urban wanderer's delight. There are many museums to visit from the V&A to one of Europe's finest industrial museums,  or step on board Dundee's floating attractions.

Back at the hotel we have time to relax before our evening of Gin, Jam and Journalism. This fascinating evening includes Gin cocktail demonstrations and tasting, as well as talks about the Jam and Journalism history of Dundee.

 

DAY THREE –  Glamis Castle & Montrose

This morning after a leisurely breakfast we visit Glamis Castle at the heart of Angus, with its 1000 years of history this is one of the finest castles in Scotland.  Glamis Castle has been the ancestral seat to the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne since 1372, inspiration for Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the childhood home of HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and birthplace of HRH The Princess Margaret.

 

We have a special guided tour of the Castle that begins with a welcome from the Castle Piper and a reception of tea/coffee and shortbread in the 16th Century Chambers.  As your tour begins every room has its own story, and the evolution of the castle and legendary tales are brought to life by expert guides.

Later we’ll visit Montrose, a great little town to visit, with a pleasant old centre and an interesting museum and art gallery. The town sits on the edge of a virtually landlocked two-mile-square lagoon of mud known as the Basin, which is a nature reserve and haven for wildfowl and wading birds who love its mud. We spend a short while here before returning to our hotel with time to relax before dinner this evening.

 

DAY FOUR – St Andrews Royal & Ancient Golf Club and St Andrews Tour

This morning we join our guide as we have a 90 minute guided tour of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club, St Andrews. You’ll discover how it is the home of golf, has the oldest university in Scotland and more. You’ll then explore St Andrews as you walk in the footsteps of golfing legends, royals heretics who were burned at the stake, famous cats and those who live in St Andrews today! Your local guide will bring St Andrews to life. Key stops include: Old Course Golf Course, St Andrews Castle, St Andrews Cathedral, the University of St Andrews.

 

After our day in St Andrews, we then head back to our hotel with time to relax before dinner this evening.
