After a stop to enable you to freshen up and enjoy a breakfast, we will travel into the centre of Edinburgh.

After breakfast we make our way to Stirling Castle which has guarded the border between Scotland and England for centuries. You'll be able to explore the castle with the aid of a local guide. Nearby is the Wallace monument, erected to honour William Wallace (Brave Heart), the national hero who defeated the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge. Heading away we return to Edinburgh for the evening. Enjoy dinner out at a local restaurant and take in a Ghost Walk along the Royal Mile or sample a wee dram or two at a local pub.
