Around Scotland

Edinburgh is a simply fantastic base for touring the very best of Scotland and the Scottish Highlands.

If you are planning to visit
Scotland and the city of Edinburgh then you’ll find the range of day tours and sightseeing trips, whether organised or self drive, and short touring breaks, the ideal complement to your stayin Edinburgh. Sightseeing tours are the perfect way to explore the real Scotland - a land of fairytale castles, picturesque lochs and spectacular scenery.

You can choose to visit Loch Ness and Inverness - or St Andrews and Fife, Perthshire, Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond - both popular one-day tours. Or why not travel further afield - the beauty of the Isle of Skye, the remote yet picturesque surroundings of the ApplecrossPeninsula and nature watching in a lonely Highland glen are just some of the delights that await you.

And there are many touring companies, based in Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh, with easy and fast access to both EdinburghAirport, GlasgowAirport and Rosyth Ferry Terminal, who can meet our visitors on their arrival in Scotland, by air, sea or rail – or at our Edinburgh hotel.
