This Tour Can Be Customised To Suit Your Preferences
For those of you who are fans of the Royal family, this tour will give you a glimpse into their lifestyle , both from modern and ancient times.
You will see my favourite ruined Castle in Scotland, Dunnotter near Aberdeen. It is here where the Scottish Crown Jewels were hidden from the marauding Oliver Cromwell & his troops!
Glamis Castle of the childhood home of the Queen Mother and is completely open to the public. Balmoral Castle on the other hand is only open from Easter until the 31st July, as the Queen and other Royals stay there for the summer.
As well as beautiful Castles, some of the scenery that you travel through on this tour will simply take your breath away.
