What's included in the package

Itinerary

Rosslyn Chapel

Our first stop is Rosslyn Chapel. Scotland’s ‘best-kept secret’ has now achieved worldwide fame since the publication of ‘The Da Vinci Code’. An architectural gem, its superb stone carvings are still not fully understood. Further mystery surrounds the chapel and its association with the Knights Templar and Freemasonry. Many visitors leave with their own theory but all are amazed. The short walk through the glen to ancient Roslin Castle is also fascinating.

Melrose Abbey

Enjoy lunch in the charming town of Melrose. The stunning ruined Abbey is the final resting place of King Robert the Bruce’s heart.

Admission Ticket Not Included

Cross the ancient Scotland/England border at Carter Bar, a wonderful viewpoint in the Cheviot Hills.

Here you’ll enjoy a nature walk along one of the most dramatic and photographed stretches of the wall.

Awesome trip for those who love history! Our driver, Euan, was particularly knowledgeable and accommodating. We had one person slip on mud while walking the wall and a child that got car sick on our tour. He was kind and courteous in both situations. Having said that, this is a mobility chall...
