Itinerary

Mon - This morning we depart the local area and make our way to our hotel in Dundee. 

Tue - This morning, we visit the beautifully restored gardens at the historic Teasses Estate for a guided tour by the head gardener. As we walk amongst the spectacular gardens, we will hear more about the history and restoration. We might pick up a few gardening tips too! After enjoying some refreshments and home-baked goods, we drive to the quaint seaside town of St Andrews for time at leisure. Famous as the home of golf and its Royal connections, it’s the perfect place to explore independents shops, cute cafes and historical sights.

Wed - We spend today in Dundee where first we visit Discovery Point, the award-winning attraction which tells the story of RRS Discovery and Captain Scott’s amazing Antarctic expedition. After our visit, we step next door and explore the exciting V&A Dundee (some exhibitions carry a separate charge), before we enjoy the rest of the afternoon at leisure exploring more of Dundee. Home to the famous publishing house of DC Thomson, see if you can spot all the statues of famous Beano and Dandy characters dotted around the city!

Thu - This morning, we travel back in time to Scone Palace, the ancient crowning place of Scottish Kings and original home of the Stone of Scone. Set in beautiful woodland gardens admire the historical artefacts and stunning State Rooms. In the afternoon we visit the Black Watch Museum to learn more about the extraordinary history of Scotland’s oldest highland regiment dating back to 1739. With free time afterwards in Perth, why not visit the new Perth Museum to see the Stone of Scone, newly returned to Scotland after 700 years.

Fri - After breakfast we depart the hotel and commence the homeward journey.
