PEEBLES & ABBOTSFORD HOUSE
Enjoy a morning at your leisure in the lovely Borders Royal Burgh town of Peebles today. Explore the quaint town with its beautiful historic buildings, shops and cafes and walking trails along the River Tweed to Neidpath Castle. The town of Peebles has historic roots going back to the 12th Century when King William I first appointed it as a Royal Burgh, and since then it has flourished as a small market town which has a never ending stream of visitors eager to explore its charms. In the afternoon we journey to Abbotsford House, former Baronial home of Sir Walter Scott where you have a tour of the house and amazing interiors and gardens. Enjoy a cuppa at the Visitor Centre before we journey back to Peebles in time for evening meal.
ROSSLYN CHAPEL & EDINBURGH
This morning after breakfast in the hotel join the coach for a day out to explore Rosslyn Chapel on the outskirts of Edinburgh. This enticing building stands perched above the River North Esk, and has done so since 1446. Still a place of worship today, the chapel is shrouded in mystery with links to the Knights Templar and Holy Grail. After a guided tour of the exquisite carvings inside and out, and time for a refreshment in the café we travel on to Edinburgh where you will have a tour of the city by Palace of Holyroodhouse, Arthurs Seat and Calton Hill before the coach drops you in a central location for you to explore the city and its many shops. Returning to the hotel in time for evening meal.
NORTH BERWICK & COASTAL TRAIL
After a delicious breakfast in the hotel this morning join the coach for a lovely coastal tour through Lothian visiting North Berwick. This pleasant seaside town in East Lothian is home to eclectic shops, cafes & bars, not to mention world-renowned golf courses and overlooks Bass Rock - a haven for wild seabirds. Enjoy time on the beach and some fish & chips before we tour along the coast passing by Dunbar and the pretty fishing harbour of St Abbs for a stop in Berwick-Upon-Tweed. This historical town is just across the border in Northumberland and has a host of shops and historic monuments for you to discover. Enjoy time here before we return to the hotel in Peebles in time for your evening meal.
