Activity itinerary

Rosslyn Chapel

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
From our starting point by Edinburgh Castle, we head out of the city to the village of Roslin, making our first stop at Rosslyn Chapel. Described as the "Library in Stone", the inside walls of Rosslyn Chapel are covered in thousands of ancient carvings, each with a story of its own. You can also learn of the myths and legends surrounding the chapel, including tales of the Knights Templar. Rosslyn Chapel's worldwide fame increased thanks to "The Da Vinci Code", Dan Brown's blockbusting novel.

Melrose Abbey

  • 1h 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
We travel to the historic town of Melrose, birthplace of the game of Rugby Sevens and location of Melrose Abbey, founded in 660, said to be the burial place of the casket containing the heart of Robert the Bruce. Here we stop for lunch and have free time to explore Melrose and its Abbey. Due to masonry inspections, there is currently no visitor access to the abbey church.

Glenkinchie Distillery

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
As we make our way back to Edinburgh, we'll take in the stunning scenery of the Borders before arriving at our final stop: Glenkinchie Distillery, one of the last remaining distilleries in the Lowlands and the Lowland home of Johnnie Walker. Here, you'll embark on a relaxed tour to learn about the traditional art of whisky-making, followed by a tasting session (optional extra) of some of Glenkinchie's finest single malts.
