| 6 | Description | Join us on a two-day tour to Braemar and its world-famous Royal Highland Gathering. Soak up the atmosphere and experience the excitement at this traditional cultural event. It is believed that the Braemar Gathering has existed for around 1,000 years, and since Queen Victoria’s visit in 1844, the Royal Family have been regular attendees, both Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Charles attended last year. There will be Highland Games, Highland dancing, clans, and lots of tartan. It doesn’t get more Scottish than that! As well as the Highland Gathering, our journey takes us through the stunning Highland scenery of Royal Deeside, to the ancient Tomnaverie Stone Circle, and the iconic Dunnottar Castle. Finally, we visit the charming cathedral town of St Andrews before returning to Edinburgh. | ||
