Ardgartan Hotel 5 Day Mountains & Mistletoe
First Day - Southern Scotland
Visit the pretty village of Luss before arriving 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
Explore the beautiful Royal Burgh of Stirling where for centuries monarchs ruled from its strategic castle and where merchants operated below castle rock. Stirling is Scotland’s heritage capital, and the Wars of Independence were fought and won here. The city has been carefully preserved and the history of Scotland lives on through the architecture and local landmarks. The castle sits majestically above the busy city and its regal splendour remains unchanged. The coach will drop those wishing to visit the castle off and then you will walk through the cobbled streets of the Old Town to meet the coach in the town centre. The National Wallace Monument stands at 220ft and overlooks the scene of one of Scotland’s most famous battle sites, The Battle of Stirling Bridge, which was led by the famous William Wallace. The theme tonight is New Year’s Eve and there will be a candlelit dinner and a Hogmanay party to celebrate!

After breakfast your coach will take you on a mystery tour before returning you home late afternoon.
