Live like a Clan Chief

1 Customer Feedbacks

Scotland`s turbulent history has left an enduring mark on the landscape in shape of the many castles, fortresses and tower houses that can be found in the countryside. Some such as Edinburgh or Stirling rank amongst Europe`s most impressive structures while other less grand examples provide a stark insight into darker times. However, all castles have captured the imagination which explains why they top the list of `must-see` attractions. Go on a journey along the famous castle trail and sleep in castles and manor houses. THIS IS A PRE-SET PACKAGE.

The experience on our vacation was wonderful! We used the `Live Like a Clan Chief Package` and traveled Scotland. I would recommend that you also include a couple nights stay in northern Scotland, maybe around the Wick area and over toward the Isle of Skye. The hotels where great. We have already recommended your services to some other of our friends and would use your services again in the future! Allen C
