描述
Join this 1-day small group tour from Edinburgh to explore the history, legends, and landscapes of the Scottish Lowlands. Stop to visit the Rosslyn Chapel, Melrose, and Glenkinchie Distillery.
Travel through the Scottish Lowlands and Borders on an enjoyable small group day-tour. See the varied natural wonders that make this section of Scotland famous. See historic sites and sample real Scottish whisky as you travel with a friendly and knowledgeable guide!
Your tour will head out from Edinburgh Castle to the lovely village of Roslin. There, you will have the opportunity to visit Rosslyn Chapel. Dating back to 1445, the chapel gained worldwide fame thanks to the increasing interest in Freemasonry and the Knights Templar. See the intricate “musical” boxes and green men carved throughout the chapel.
Leave Roslin and continue your journey into the heart of the Scottish Borders in the eastern part of the Scottish Uplands. This area is rich in hills, valleys, rivers, and moorland, and is also the traditional home of Scottish rugby. Travel to the historic town of Melrose, the birthplace of the game of Rugby Sevens and home to of Melrose Abbey.
The Abbey, founded in 1136, is one of the most beautiful religious ruins in the United Kingdom, containing many intricate carved sculptures. It is also said to be the burial place of the embalmed heart of Robert the Bruce. Enjoy a tasty lunch in Melrose and have plenty of free time to explore the town and the abbey.
On our return journey to Edinburgh, we’ll enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Borders before reaching our final stop: Glenkinchie Distillery, one of the last remaining Lowland distilleries and the Lowland home of Johnnie Walker. Here, you’ll enjoy a relaxed tour (optional extra) exploring the traditional whisky-making process, with the option to indulge in a tasting session of Glenkinchie’s finest single malts.
