Onboard the luxury air-conditioned coach, your knowledgeable guide will provide a commentary covering the history and culture of the area. Your first stop will be Rosslyn Chapel, home to ancient carvings made famous by Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code. Next, you’ll head to Melrose, where Rugby 7s was born and the heart of Robert the Bruce is said to be buried at Melrose Abbey. After lunch, you’ll enjoy the scenery before continuing to Glenkinchie Distillery, one of the oldest distilleries in the Lowlands. There you will learn about the history and processes in whisky before sampling some of the distillery's finest malts. You will then return to Edinburgh with a happy heart!
