Itinerary – Royal Scotland Self-Drive Tour
This 8-day self-drive itinerary is your passport to explore Scotland like royalty. You’ll enjoy the elegance of historic accommodations each night and the freedom of the open road each day. Iconic experiences like entry to Edinburgh Castle and a Loch Ness cruise with a visit to historic Urquhart Castle are included, but what truly makes this journey special are the personal discoveries: perhaps it’s tracing the Malt Whisky Trail at your own rhythm, wandering through Royal Deeside’s charming hamlets, or standing awestruck in front of clifftop castles.
We’ve combined the best of both worlds—structure and spontaneity, heritage and hospitality. You’ll enjoy daily breakfast, an expertly curated route, and just enough included experiences to keep things smooth and enriching. The rest is yours to shape. This isn’t just a vacation; it’s your personal chapter in Scotland’s majestic story.
