Teacher Trip – Scotland Round trip

Vibrant Cities & Wild Nature

The Highlands are one of the most fascinating landscapes in Europe. Legends and heroes live on here. We organise round trips or location stays in wild nature with wonderful walking routes.

Highlights include Edinburgh, Loch Ness, Isle of Skye, Glen Coe, Gretna Green and Fort William.

Edinburgh Military Tattoo
Highlight of every trip to Scotland
Every year the Tattoo takes place in August. It has its roots in Scottish tradition and celebrates military and cultural traditions from around the world. Almost always fully booked - we have to book it at least 18 months in advance.
Accommodation
Hotels

Single or double rooms

We try to book traditional Scottish hotels. Again, book well in advance. The availability of single rooms is limited.

Self-catering cottages

Living in the wilderness as a team

We can book self-catering cottages in beautiful countryside for adult groups of up to 35 people. Hiking enthusiasts will get their money's worth.
