Holiday Highlights:
• Visits to historic Stirling and its castle
• Time to explore Edinburgh
• Travel to the iconic Forth Road Bridge to Falkirk
Monday
We depart and make our way to Stirling and our hotel for the next 4 nights with dinner, bed and breakfast.
During your stay
•Time in historic Stirling, with its magnificent castle. Standing on a high plug of volcanic rock at the head of the Old Town, the castle is well worth a visit (extra).
• A drive across the Kincardine Bridge and pay a visit to the village of Culross (pronounced Cooross). Culross is the nearest thing you will find to a 16th century time capsule with
time to wander around this ‘wee gem’.
• Journey across the iconic Forth Road Bridge to Falkirk where we take a ride on the newly restored Falkirk Wheel, used to transport canal boats from one level to another. This is a superb feat of engineering and is a fascinating experience.
• Edinburgh where you have the whole day free to explore - There is lots to see and do - The Castle, The Royal Mile, Holyrood Palace, Princes Street with its quality shops & lovely gardens, the old town.
Friday
After breakfast we depart for home.
