Edinburgh Hop On Hop Off Tour
Edinburgh is such a beautiful city, but it
has been known to rain from time to time.
Do yourself a favour and jump on board
the big red double decker bus. This is the
easiest and very occasionally the driest
way to see the city and its attractions.

This swirling, bubbling interactive attraction brings
300 years of Scotch Whisky history to life. Scotch
Whisky dates back to the 15th century and on the
Whisky Heritage Tour you will learn the origins of
Malt Whisky distilling in Scotland. To get you in the
mood
you are
offered
a “wee
dram”.
Loch Ness, Glen Coe & the Highlands
You haven’t experienced Scotland until you’ve
journeyed to the Highlands, home to the Clan
families, steeped in tradition and full of beauty.
Enjoy stunning scenery as you travel through
the spectacular
Cairngorms
National Park
en route to Loch
Ness for monster
spotting and onto
Glen Coe, home
of the massacre
of the MacDonald
Clan.
Note: All
admissions are
optional extras
and subject
to seasonal
