Tour Itinerary
From our starting point by
Edinburgh Castle, we head out
of the city to the village of Roslin,
making our first stop at Rosslyn
Chapel (its worldwide fame
increased thanks to "The Da Vinci
Code", Dan Brown's blockbusting
novel).
Leaving Rosslyn we commence
our journey into the heart of the
Scottish Borders, an area rich in
hills, valleys, rivers and moorland,
as well as the traditional home to
Scottish rugby.We travel to the
historic town of Melrose, birthplace
of the game of Rugby Sevens, and
location of Melrose Abbey, founded
in 660, said to be the burial place of
the casket containing the heart of
Robert the Bruce. Here we stop for
lunch and have free time to explore
Melrose and its Abbey.
On our return journey, we'll travel
via St. Boswells and pause for a
photo stop at Scott's View, where
we can enjoy glorious scenic views.
Our journey north takes us to
Pencaitland, where we visit the
charming Glenkinchie Distillery for
a 'tour and a taste' and learn more
about 'the water of life'. Glenkinchie
is one of few Lowland distilleries
in Scotland. Then we'll return to
Edinburgh.
