Asked on May 2nd, 2025We are planning to take a round trip through Scotland from Tuesday, July 29th, 2025, to Saturday, August 9th, 2025. We are three adults and one child (9 years old). We would like to stay in beautiful hotels. It is very important for us to include the Isle of Mull and to spend 2 to 3 days in Edinburgh.

Asked on April 3rd, 2024What are the activity requirements? I am 75 and have some mobility issues. How far would I need to be able to walk for this trip? Are there any extra charges for someone who is travelling solo?

No extra charges for a solo traveler, your price varies on the room type you wish to book.
