What to expect
Scozia Tour
We depart from 190 High Street, Edinburgh, driving through the Lowlands toward the English border.
Our first stop is Berwick-upon-Tweed, England’s northernmost town, where you can admire its castle ruins, medieval walls, and river views while enjoying a quick coffee.
WINTER ITINERARY NOTE: From Oct 22 to late March 2027, Alnwick Castle is closed and replaced by Lindisfarne (Holy Island). Accessible via a tidal causeway, you can explore its historic abbey, 16th-century castle, and coastal views (stop order depends on tides). Lunch will still be in Alnwick town.
When open, Alnwick Castle (Hogwarts in Harry Potter) lets you explore the Duke of Northumberland’s residence, gardens, and Europe's largest treehouse. Entry (£19.50) is cash only.
Next, we visit Bamburgh Castle, set over a white sand beach and featured in films like El Cid and Robin Hood. Entry (£9.50) is card only.
Finally, we head back to Edinburgh, finishing on Hanover Street.
