Ardgartan Hotel 5 Day Mountains & Mistletoe
First Day
Arrive at the Ardgartan Hotel in time for dinner.
Christmas Eve
Visit the largest town in Argyll & The Isles this Christmas Eve. 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. Turning east lies the pretty town of Inveraray, overlooking the still waters of Loch Fyne. Founded in 1745, 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! After a day of exploring return to your hotel for a complimentary sherry reception.
Christmas Day
To celebrate Christmas Day visit ‘The Highlands in miniature’ – this area is one of the most romantic in Scotland, with wild little glens, tranquil Lochs, miles of forest and rolling hills. Callander is the hub of the Trossachs and has been immortalised by Sir Walter Scott who published the first ever international best seller, 'The Lady of the Lake' in 1810. This romantic narrative has encouraged many famous visitors to the area, including Queen Victoria on her frequent tours of Scotland, and was inspiration for both Wordsworth and Coleridge. You will have an included lunch at our Loch Achray Hotel before heading back to your hotel for a traditional Christmas dinner.
New Year's Eve
Glasgow is Scotland’s largest city and is famed for its vibrancy and the friendliness of its people. The city is constantly developing and has an energetic atmosphere. Glasgow’s industrial roots as the ‘Second City of the Empire’ have given the city its character and Glasgow now offers fabulous museums, art galleries and architecture. The Edwardian Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum showcases a wide range of objects from Scotland and abroad within one of the most iconic and impressive buildings in Glasgow. The theme tonight is New Year’s Eve and there will be a candlelit dinner and a Hogmanay party to celebrate!
