CLAN MACLEAN & THE GATHERING 2009 EDINBURGH

CLAN MACLEAN what can I say, it's my own clan and we had a brilliant gathering 2007 on Mull and on our coach tour. I know many of you came on that tour and will be waiting for the next gathering in 2012, but - there are also many who expressed interest in attending this one too! So - what and where shall we go this time? Well, we will end up in Edinburgh of course, but before, we will do a tour to Mull (of course), Maclean's Nose, Ardnamurchan, Morvern, Inverness and Brought Ferry. It will be different and fun!   KILTS AT THE READY!

See costs below for groups and self drive tours

18 Saturday arrive into Scotland, Glasgow or Edinburgh, we will meet you (groups only). Then we depart north towards Oban, where we will stay in or near overnight. I am sure you will all still be awake and have time to have a wee drink at the pub!

19 Sunday ready to roll? Aye of course you are! We will catch the ferry to Mull and visit our castle; Duart. Then we head to Tobermory for some free time, probably lunch at the pub, before heading to the ferry at Tobermory for Kilchoan and Maclean’s Nose! Seriously there is such a place! Driving back through wild scenery and to the Corran ferry taking us back to Appin and home to Oban, where we stay overnight.

20 Monday we leave after breakfast and head to Inverness via Loch Ness and Nessie. A quick rest stop and free time in Inverness, maybe some shopping? We then to Dufftown, into the land of whisky. Overnight after a great scenic day of sightseeing.
 

21 Tuesday as we are in Speyside we visit Glenfiddich distillery, a shame not to eh! A great tour and a dram for you. The remainder of the day we will visit castles, scenic and historic locations, returning to Dufftown overnight.

22 Wednesday we travel south through wonderful scenery to Ballater and Braemar. Driving down the glen through stunning scenery to Blairgowrie, off the normal tourist track which is superb. Then we head another place you probably never have heard off (we think), Broughty Ferry near Dundee. This is where Liz lives and it has great wee pubs and a castle set on the harbour and Firth of the River Tay. We will of course visit one of the best pubs, maybe pulling in Liz to join us!? The day ends here in the Ferry! A good night out in the pub beckons …

23 Thursday we head to St Andrews where we have time to visit the ruined cathedral, castle and maybe take a wander to the world famous Old Course where you can view the course. After free time for shopping we will drive down the east neuk to the wee fishing town of Crail where you have time to wander around the harbour. Then we head to Glamis Castle with it’s royal connections before returning to the Ferry late afternoon, overnight here again.
