Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At:
Swanston Farm, 111 Swanston Road Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH10 7DS Scotland
Meet the iconic Highland Cows at Swaston Farm. As conservation grazers, these cows spend their entire lives free to roam at the farm, foraging as they please.
Please note that the beautiful cows at Swanston Farm are wild, and no petting or feeding is allowed. Pictures are allowed.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At:
Chapel Loan Rosslyn Chapel, Roslin, Roslin EH25 9PU Scotland
The beautiful Rosslyn Chapel was founded in 1446. It features uniquely ornate stonework, portraying a range of subjects from Biblical stories to Pagan symbolism.
The chapel was featured in the film adaptation of Dan Brown's 'The Da Vinci Code' as the hiding place of the Holy Grail. Many people believe it is still there, but attempts to find it have so far been unsuccessful. Maybe you will be able to find its secret location in the chapel!
**Please note that entry to the chapel MUST be booked in advance to avoid disappointment.**
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At:
Tantallon Castle, North Berwick, North Berwick EH39 5PN Scotland
Sitting on a cliff edge on the North Berwick coast, Tantallon castle was built in the mid 14th century, and it was once the formidable fortress of the Red Douglas Clan. This partially ruined castle's mighty curtain wall is still the best example of castle architecture from the 1300s in Scotland.
Tantallon Castle was an incredible fortress until it it was destroyed by Oliver Cromwell's army in the 17th century and subsequently abandoned.
Similarly to Rosslyn Chapel, Tantallon Castle is also a popular filming location, having been featured in 'Under the Skin', starring Scarlett Johansson, and the Bollywood cult classic, 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', starring Shah Rukh Khan.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At:
Dunbar, Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland
Dunbar is a quaint fishing town on the North Berwick coast that has been witness to many historic events. Dunbar has two working harbours: the Victorian Harbour, and the older Cromwell Harbour, dating from 1574 - both still in use to this day! From here, you have views of Bass Rock and the Isle of May northwards and, if you're very lucky, the occasional dolphin swimming by!
Above the harbour you can see the ruins of the Castle, visited on several occasions by Mary Queen of Scots, and from where Edward II escaped back to England after being defeated by Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At:
John Muir's Birthplace, 128 High Street, Dunbar EH42 1JJ Scotland
Despite having seen it's fair share of historical events, Dunbar's main claim to fame is perhaps being the birthplace of John Muir, one of America's most influential conservationist, and the 'father' of the U.S. National Parks.
You can visit the house where John Muir was born in 1838, which has been turned into a museum.
Duration: 30 minutes
