The Highlights
From the starting point by Edinburgh Castle, you head out of the city to the village of Roslin, making your first stop at Rosslyn Chapel. Described as the "Library in Stone", the inside walls of Rosslyn Chapel are covered in thousands of ancient carvings, each with a story of its own. You can also learn of the myths and legends surrounding the chapel, including tales of the Knights Templar. Rosslyn Chapel's worldwide fame increased thanks to "The Da Vinci Code", Dan Brown's blockbusting novel.Leaving Rosslyn you continue into the heart of the Scottish Borders, an area rich in hills, valleys, rivers and moorland, as well as being the traditional home to Scottish rugby. You travel to the historic town of Melrose, birthplace of the game of Rugby Sevens and location of Melrose Abbey, founded in 660, said to be the burial place of the casket containing the heart of Robert the Bruce. Here you stop for lunch (not included) and have free time to explore Melrose and its Abbey.
On our return journey, you will travel via St. Boswells and pause for a photo stop at Scott's View, where you can enjoy glorious scenic views. The journey north takes you to Pencaitland, where you visit the charming Glenkinchie Distillery (not included), one of few Lowland distilleries in Scotland for a whisky tour. Here you have the possibility to enjoy "a tour and a taste", learn more about "the water of life" and sample some of Glenkinchie's finest malts.
