In our customers' own words—
-
            "We had a simply marvelous week! We learned so much about the history, culture, and the people. Mike's highlight was the Old Course at St. Andrews. Mine was the Charles Rennie Mackintosh House and lunch at The Willows Tea Room in Glasgow. We loved the ancient 'secret' paths along the Leith River. We loved walking and exploring, and saw the Queen twice in her car!"             
                                                                                           —J. & M. Hegedus, New Jersey

          "Edinburgh is a lovely city with a small town attitude."

Culture, history, shopping, & restaurants.

        Here is the Royal Mile, the Holyrood Palace, the Castle, the New Town, the Tattoo, the Festival, and Hogmanay. Here are splendid shops full of tweeds and tartans, a tempting array of international restaurants, kilted guards on parade, and a mainline rail station with connections all over Britain.
