Ardgartan Hotel 5 Day Winter Warmer
First Day
Arrive at the Ardgartan Hotel in time for dinner.
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!
Callander & The Trossachs
'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. The Trossachs have 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. Callander is the hub of the Trossachs and offers warm hospitality and a chance to soak up the local history of this scenic area.
Glasgow and a visit to Kelvingrove Art Gallery
A visit to Scotland's largest city, Glasgow. Over recent years the city centre has been transformed and is now a mecca for sightseers and shoppers alike. In the afternoon your coach will take you to one of the finest and most visited museum outside London, Kelvingrove Art Gallery, which has undergone extensive restoration to the distinctive Edwardian building that houses a collection of art that has been described as one of the greatest civic collections in Europe. The museum is free of charge.
