We visit Edinburgh today, the marvellous capital of Scotland. You'll have leisure time to soak in the medieval ambiance of the Royal Mile or indulge in some shopping on the bustling Princes Street before we embark on our tour of the iconic castle.
Situated atop Castle Rock, an ancient volcanic plug, Edinburgh Castle dominates the city’s skyline and serves as a symbol of Scotland’s historical legacy. Don't miss out on the Scottish Crown Jewels, the quaint St. Margaret's Chapel, and the one of Europe's oldest cannons, Mons Meg.

Later, we return to the hotel. The rest of the day is at leisure.

Included Highlights
Today, we visit Jedburgh, a town renowned for its connections to Mary Queen of Scots. Until the 17th century, Jedburgh's strategic location made it a focal point of numerous Border battles. Nowadays, it radiates charm, with vibrant, restored structures surrounding its Market Place.
We then visit the incredible Abbotsford House and Gardens, the grand residence of none other than Sir Walter Scott – the famed 'Great Scott'. He rediscovered Scotland’s Crown Jewels, popularised tartan, and saved the Scottish banknote. We enjoy a guided tour through the lavish rooms and into the enchanting gardens, before indulging in an included cream tea.

Peebles Hydro
For over a century the landmark, Victorian Peebles Hydro Hotel has proudly overlooked its nearby charming Border town. The building dates from the late 19th century and is surrounded by beautiful forest. With classic décor, guests can enjoy lovely views from the hotel's restaurant, The Grill Room, which offers favourite dishes made from locally sourced produce. Not The Cocktail Bar and The Miller Lounge are the perfect, relaxing spots for a wee drink, both serving beer brewed on the grounds. A stroll around the Hydro’s extensive grounds will bring you to putting greens, a giant chess board and a microbrewery, and you might also stumble upon birds and bees (the hotel keeps its own chickens, runner ducks and European bees!). The leisure club boasts a state-of-the-art gym, fantastic swimming pool, sauna and spa bath, so you can really unwind during your stay (extra charges may apply, please pay locally).
