Ardgartan Hotel 4 Day Autumn Break
First Day - Edinburgh
Travel via Dunkeld to Sma'Glen and on to Crieff before making your way to the Ardgartan Hotel in time for dinner.
Helensburgh, Hill House and the Submarine Centre
Step into Colquhoun territory with a visit to Helensburgh and two of its iconic features. Helensburgh is a handsome Victorian holiday resort on the River Clyde to the west of Glasgow. The town was formed at the end of the 18th century by Sir James Colquhoun who named Helensburgh after his wife – Helen. The popular Victorian holiday destination boasts a long promenade, beautiful parks and pretty gardens. Explore Hill House - the town’s most famous feature. This National Trust property is the finest domestic masterpiece of the famous Scottish architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Discover parts of the Hill House usually hidden from view on the walkways around the house. For those with a head for heights (optional), venture onto the walkway over the roof to see the house in a way that even Mackintosh himself could not experience – please note you will be climbing 54 steps to a height of 15 metres from the ground! This excursion also offers you the chance to immerse yourself in Britain’s maritime history with a visit to the Submarine Centre. Their exhibitions explain and present the stories and engineering behind the Royal Navy Submarine Service through 360° panoramic video.
Oban & Inveraray
The largest town in Argyll & The Isles, Oban is known as the ‘Gateway to the Isles’ and is the ‘Seafood Capital of Scotland’. Oban has a way of drawing out the romantic side of visitors, with its mists that roll in from the sea, and the hills which overlook the bay. The most iconic feature within Oban is McCaig’s Tower, a Colosseum lookalike that stands above the town and offers wonderful views out west. Turning east lies the pretty town of Inveraray, overlooking the still waters of Loch Fyne. This iconic town was founded in 1745 by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, head of the infamous Clan Campbell. Inveraray is a classic example of an 18th century planned town and the Georgian architecture remains unspoilt. There is plenty to see and even more to taste - from seafood to whisky, these two centres in Argyll offer a great range of local produce -all well worth sampling!
