offers some of the country’s most outstanding
scenery. At Slea Head, Europe’s most westerly
point, a stop at the Blasket Island Heritage
Centre will give you a fascinating insight into the

You’ll also head north into County Kerry,

mountain range, and where Muckross House,
one of Ireland’s finest stately homes, surveys

The undoubted highlight of the holiday is the
truly breathtaking Giant’s Causeway, set on

stones into the Atlantic from beneath the
windswept cliffs – a simply unforgettable sight.

Heritage site the Giant’s Causeway, and further chances to explore Ireland’s finest scenery.

loughs, of towering mountains and sheltered glens from your base in County Donegal.

Tay and through the Trossachs, takes you to
the small lochside town of Inverary, your base

Downton Abbey Christmas Special, or Inverary
Jail, now a fascinating museum.

Isles, with its fine esplanade, whisky distillery
and woollen mills and the beautiful Arduaine
coastal garden. Whether you’re a keen
gardener or not, you’ll be enchanted!

the Highlands with the chance to spend two nights on the shores of Loch Fyne in scenic
Argyllshire. Highlights of the carefully planned itinerary include a cruise on Loch Ness, a

scenery to Aviemore, where you may choose
to board the nearby CairnGorm Mountain
Railway, the UK’s longest funicular.
The third journey takes you from Fort William
on the famous West Highland Line, travelling
through glens, alongside lochs and rivers, and
across bridges – including the 21-arch span
of the Glenfinnan Viaduct – to the tiny fishing
village of Mallaig, on the Atlantic shore.
Scotland’s Highland railways offer some of the most spectacular scenery in the world, and
this is the chance to experience it for yourself, accompanied by one of our knowledgeable
Tour Managers. You’ll travel on the last 42 dramatic miles of the famous West Highland
Line from Fort William to Mallaig, take a nostalgic trip on the charming Strathspey Steam
Railway and enjoy a breathtaking run from Inverness to the Kyle of Lochalsh.

Rugged and remote, with a raw natural beauty
and stunning cliff and sea loch scenery,
Shetland has a unique culture and fantastic
wildlife. Your day’s sightseeing on Shetland
has been carefully planned to give you a feel
of all that the main island has to offer, including
the outstanding Norse settlement of Jarlshof,
Scalloway Castle and Museum and time in the
enchanting old town of Lerwick.
Orkney is altogether greener and more
fertile than Shetland and its peoples have
traditionally been farmers as opposed to
seafarers. Highlights of your time in Orkney
include the World Heritage sites of Skara
Brae and the spectacular Standing Stones of
Stenness, as well as the more recent Churchill
Barriers and remarkable Italian Chapel, both
stark reminders of the part played by Orkney
in the Second World War.
Back on the mainland, you’ll have a quick
peep at John O’Groats, Britain’s famous most
northern outpost, have time to explore fairytale
Dunrobin Castle with its confection of turrets
and roofs, and visit the popular Highland resort
of Pitlochry.
Combine visits to the beautiful and contrasting islands of Orkney and Shetland with time
in the Scottish Highlands, on this never-to-be-forgotten holiday. See some of Europe’s
most important archaeological sites, enjoy stunning scenery and huge skies, marvel at the

and complimentary dram. Then it’s off to
the Speyside Cooperage, the only working
cooperage in the UK. Using traditional

order to access the restaurant.
Situated in the small, age-old Highland village of Carrbridge in
Speyside about six miles north of Aviemore, the family owned and

100 bedrooms offering private facilities, colour television and tea- and

offering spacious, comfortable accommodation with private facilities.
A warm Hebridean welcome is guaranteed.
3★ Dunollie Hotel* – Broadford, Isle of Skye
The modern three-star Dunollie Hotel is situated at the water’s
edge by the harbour wall in Broadford and offers magnificent
views across the sea. All rooms have private facilities.
On arrival at Edinburgh Airport, it’s a long, but
hugely scenic drive to the Isle of Skye, your
base for the first two nights.
Here you’ll visit the main town of Portree and
magnificent Dunvegan Castle, spectacularly
sited on a promontory overlooking the sea.
Many of the castle’s public rooms are open
and the formal gardens are a hidden oasis
amid the barren Skye landscape.
The Isles of Lewis and Harris are guardians of
a rich culture with roots in the mists of time.
Although basically one land mass, the islands
have always had their own distinct identities
and unique physical characteristics, and
during your stay you’ll explore both, having
the chance to enjoy the varied scenery as well
as visiting some of the main historical and
archaeological sites.
Highlights include two reminders of the
islands’ ancient past, the spectacular standing
stones of Callanish and the imposing Broch
of Carloway, and a visit to the preserved and
reconstructed ‘Black House’ at Arnol.
The drive from Ullapool across the north west
Highlands to Carrbridge for the final night is
yet another scenic delight.
From the ocean-washed sands of vast empty beaches, to mountains and moorlands
rich in flora and fauna, the Hebrides (or Western Isles as they are sometimes known) are
unspoilt, uncrowded and timeless. With stunning scenery, an ancient history and a unique
culture – these islands offer visitors a never-to-be-forgotten experience.

The sun-blessed shores and clear blue waters of Lake Garda are backed by
towering mountains to the north, and citrus and olive groves and vine-covered
slopes to the south and west, completing a picture-postcard-perfect scene.
Elegant and stylish resorts line the shores of
the lake, whilst steamers ply their trade across
the waters. Sailboats and windsurfers hint at
more energetic pursuits, whilst ashore, rest
and relaxation are very much the order of

to be awestruck by the dramatic Dolomites,
it’s no wonder that Lake Garda is our most

Villa Angelina
Sant’ Agata
Sorrento, famously ‘built between the sea
and the sky’, exudes Southern Italian charm
from every pore. On the shore, two tiny ports
are backed by small beaches and several
boardwalks, while on the water, craft of all
shapes and sizes add to the colourful scene.
The backdrop is breathtaking, with the Bay
of Naples stretching round to the distant,
towering triangle summit of Vesuvius.
The town’s beating heart is the Piazza Tasso,
pedestrianised in the evenings when the
surrounding bars and cafés are perfect for
watching the nightly passeggiata. Join in this
ritual ‘stroll’ down stylish Corso Italia, or into
the maze of narrow alleyways crammed with
shops, bars and restaurants. Everywhere you’ll
find lemon and orange trees, the fruit of the
former celebrated in everything from ceramics
and linen-ware to limoncello, the delicious
local liqueur.
Sant’ Agata del due Golfi, just six miles by bus
from Sorrento, is so called for the stunning
views it enjoys of both the Bay of Naples and
the Bay of Salerno, and offers a small selection
of shops, bars and restaurants. Sant’ Agata
has long been a favourite with our guests,
especially those who like to leave the bustle of
Sorrento behind.
