Itinerary


Day 1: 
Head North into Scotland to your overnight accommodation @ the Angus Hotel in Blairgowrie.

 
Day 2: 
Marvel at spectacular Highland scenery before arriving in Thurso, Britain’s most northerly mainland town, for a 3 night stay. 
 
Day 3: 
Enjoy the highlight of the tour, a voyage of discovery through time itself on a coach guided tour of the magical Orkney Islands. Here, you will have the chance to see the World Heritage sites of Skara Brae, the Standing Stones of Stenness and the Ring of Brodgar, plus Scapa Flow, the Churchill Barriers, the Italian Chapel and the Island’s capital, Kirkwall, with its magnificent Cathedral.
 
Day 4: 
Explore Thurso, home to Caithness Horizons, a fascinating museum that tells the story of this region’s past and present; the Castle and Gardens of Mey, once the much-adored home of the Queen Mother, who saved it from ruin in 1952. With glorious views across the Pentland Firth towards Orkney, the castle is kept as it was when the Queen Mother was in residence. No visit to this region would be complete without a visit to the famous landmark, John O’Groats.
