Sacred Scotland Journey Itinerary Sacred Scotland Journey Itinerary 1=flat terrain 2=some hills 3=hills and more walking 4=walking with steep incline Day 1: Friday, June 17 Dalhousie Castle 1 Noon pick up from Apex Grassmarket Hotel in Edinburgh for transportation as a group to Dalhousie Castle. Welcome lunch/ceremony and orientation. Dinner as a group. Dalhousie Castle is considered Scotland’s oldest inhabited castle, with more than 700 years of history. Once the seat of the Ramsay Clan, this 4- star hotel has a guest list that included King Edward 1, Sir Walter Scott, Oliver Cromwell and Queen Victoria. There are 11 acres surrounding the castle to explore. If your schedule permits, you might want to arrive in Edinburgh a day early to get adjusted to the time change. Spend the day seeing Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood and more. Day 2: Saturday, June 18 Dalhousie Castle 1 We’ll begin our beautiful day meeting our Scottish expert, Kris Kinosis, to hear the history, legends and mysteries of Roslin Glen and Rosslyn Chapel. The chapel received international attention after being in the movie The “Da Vinci Code”. This uniquely beautiful chapel is connected to the Templars. We’ll have dinner in the small town of Roslin before returning to Rosslyn Chapel for a private evening there. Day 3: Sunday, June 19 Moness Resort, Aberfeldy 3 Today we’ll depart our castle home and travel to the center of Scotland to see the Fottingall Yew tree. This magnificent tree is thought to be the oldest living tree in Scotland, if not the world, and is between 3,000 and 9,000 years old! As the guardian of rebirth and resurrection, it is an ideal access to your ancestors and the spirit realms. We’ll walk 45 minutes through the beautiful Scotland Highlands, steeped in the ancient legends of Mary Magdalene and Giants, to reach the site of the Praying Hands of Mary. We will end our day on a mystical mountain made of quartz with features similar to Mt. Shasta. It is known as Schiehallion, the Hill of the Fairy King. We will then go to our resort in the Perthshire countryside, boasting 35 acres. Day 4: Monday, June 20 Royal Highland Hotel, Inverness 1 We’ll travel further north to Inverness and see Colloden Battlefield (as seen in Outlander) where the Jacobite rebellion was fought. It was the final battle to be held on British soil and defeated the Jacobite Rising on April 16, 1746, which cemented Britain as a Protestant nation. We’ll then go to Clava Cairns, a well- preserved group of burial cairns and standing stones built around 4,000 years ago. We will stay at the Royal Highland Hotel, Inverness, which first opened its doors in 1856. Day 5: Tuesday, June 21 Royal Hotel, Isle of Lewis 1 *Summer Soltice We’ll drive to the beautiful town of Ullapool to take a ferry across to the Isle of Lewis, where we’ll see Clach an Trushal -- meaning “Stone of Compassion.” It is the tallest standing stone in Scotland and the only remaining stone that was once part of a circle of stones built 5,000 years ago. We’ll then travel to see the magnificent Callanish Stones. We’ll see it on the Summer Solstice once in the afternoon and again at sunset and into the early evening. If we are fortunate enough to have clear skies, we’ll watch the stars and Milky Way too. The Callanish Stones are an arrangement of standing stones erected in the late Neolithic-era, the main circle erected between 4,500-5,000 years ago. Day 5: Wednesday, June 22 Uig Hotel, Isle of Skye 2-3 We’ll drive across the beautiful Isle of Lewis to take the ferry to Uig on the Isle of Skye where we’ll be for 3 nights. We’ll go to the Fairy Glen, where fairies were believed to live deep within the heather. The belief in fairies goes back to prehistoric times, with a landscape that will captivate you. Day 6: Thursday, June 23 Uig Hotel, Isle of Skye 1-4 The Storr; Legend says that the “old man of Storr” was a giant and is a beacon for spiritual travelers on the Isle of Skye. The Isle of Skye is absolutely intoxicating with its beautiful unique emerald green mountains located along the coast. At the Quiraing, we’ll partially walk up the mountain. We will also see: Lealt Falls Templar Effigy Portree Day 7: Friday, June 24 Uig Hotel, Isle of Skye 2-3 Fairy Pools - Beautiful rock pools of crystal-clear aqua blue water (on a sunny day) fed by a series of waterfalls. We will walk to the various pools and take in the natural beauty of the land. The pools are magical and the background is majestic. If you didn’t see the fairies at the Fairy Glen, perhaps you’ll see or feel them here. Dunvegan Castle is one the greatest Hebridean castles and the only Highland fortress to have been continuously occupied by the same family, the Chiefs of Clan MacLeod, for 800 years. Day 8: Saturday, June 25 Apex City Hotel, Edinburgh 1 Today we drive back to Edinburgh, stopping at Eilean Donan Castle, which is one of the most recognized castles in Scotland. Bishop Donan settled on this tranquil spot to create a monastic cell in 634 AD. The first castle was later established to help protect the area from Viking incursions in the 13th century. Day 9: Sunday, June 26 Apex City Hotel, Edinburgh 1 We’ll begin at the gates of Edinburgh castle, stop at the Witches Well, Greyfriars Kirkyard (for Harry Potter fans), St. Giles’ Cathedral, walk down Royal Mile to Holyrood (where Mary Queen of Scots lived) and lastly to King Arthur’s Seat. We’ll allow time to stop in stores along the way. We will then have our Closing Ceremony. Day 10: Monday, June 27 Departure During both the SACRED SCOTLAND and SACRED ENGLAND journeys, I will facilitate group past life regressions, offering opportunities for healing your heart, mind and soul. Learning who you were, gives a deeper understanding of your soul’s journey and can clear blocks within you from a time long ago. Some will be on the ground to really connect with the land. Our Sacred Journey in Scotland will be over, but you will carry it in your heart forever. *Thank you for your flexibility if I need to make changes to enhance your journey. See the next few pages for the SACRED ENGLAND JOURNEY. Day 1: Monday, June 27 Apex City of Hotel 1 As of this writing and availability of flights, we will spend the morning in Edinburgh (free to do as you choose) and depart for the airport to fly to Bristol, England in the early afternoon and then drive to the town of Bath (where there is a Roman Bath)! Those joining us for the Sacred England Journey only can either meet us at the Bristol airport or at our hotel in Bath. Day 2: Tuesday, June 28 Apex City of Hotel 1-3 We will depart early morning for the legendary village of Glastonbury. Cradled in luscious green hills, it is rich in myth and mystery and leaves you spellbound. Glastonbury claims to be Avalon. Its legends of King Arthur, the Grail, ley lines and paganism envelope this ancient town. Druid priests considered this to be their holy mecca. It is the site of Joseph of Arimathea’s church and what is thought to be King Arthur’s gravesite. Here we will visit Glastonbury Abbey. Atop a huge hill lies the Glastonbury Tor. A place where druid high priests and high priestesses were trained and initiated. Below it, flows the ley line (earth energies) of Mary Magdalene and Archangel Michaël and where some say fairies can be seen. We will walk to the top of the Tor – linked to opening our crown chakra. This is a place where Druid high priests and priestesses were trained and initiated. At the foot of Glastonbury Tor, lies the Chalice Well. Some say the Holy Grail is buried inside or nearby. The red water that flows from the well is said to be healing. Day 3: Wednesday, June 29 Apex City of Bath Hotel 1 Your morning is free to relax or explore the charming town of Bath -- whether it’s shopping or going to places like the Roman Baths, the Bath Abbey, and the Jane Austin museum. We’ll depart in the early afternoon for an exciting day and evening beginning with Avebury. Dating back to 2600 BC, Avebury is older than Stonehenge and is the largest megalithic stone circle in the world. We can freely touch the stones, which is prohibited at Stonehenge. We’ll go West Kennet Long Barrow, one of the largest surviving Neolithic chambered long barrows in Britain, built around 3650 BC. It looks very similar to Newgrange in Ireland. We will visit the charming town of Lacock in the Cotswolds, dating back to Saxon times and where parts of Harry Potter were filmed, including his home and… end our day with a Druid Priest (schedule permitting) leading us to INSIDE the stones of Stonehenge for a beautiful sunset. Only 30 people are allowed inside with special permission. We will return to our hotel about 11 pm. A spectacular ending to a most powerful sacred journey! Thank you for joining me! Day 4: Thursday, June 30 Departures unless you are joining me on the King Arthur Tour (SEE BELOW). Whether you fly from Bristol to Edinburgh or take a train to London, you may need to make overnight accommodations depending on your flight as most departures are in the morning.

Stunning shell sand beaches fringed with machair, vast expanses of moorland, rugged hills, dramatic cliffs and surrounding seas all contain a rich biodiversity of flora, fauna and marine life. Together with a thriving Gaelic culture, this provides an inspiring island environment to live, study and work in, and a culturally rich place to explore as a visitor. The islands are privileged to be home to several award-winning contemporary Art Centres and Festivals, plus a creative trail of many smaller artist/maker run spaces. This publication aims to guide you to the galleries, shops and websites, where Art and Craft made in the Outer Hebrides can be enjoyed. En-route there are numerous sculptures, landmarks, historical and archaeological sites to visit. The guide documents some (but by no means all) of these contemplative places, which interact with the surrounding landscape, interpreting elements of island history and relationships with the natural environment. The Comhairle’s Heritage and Library Services are comprehensively detailed. Museum nan Eilean at Lews Castle in Stornoway, by special loan from the British Museum, is home to several of the Lewis Chessmen, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the UK. Throughout the islands a network of local historical societies, run by dedicated volunteers, hold a treasure trove of information, including photographs, oral histories, genealogies, croft histories and artefacts specific to their locality.

  • You Can't Get There from Here
    You Can’t Get There From Here An Outlandish Extra PDF OutlandishScotland.com A Novel Holiday Travel Guidebook You Can’t Get There From Here An Outlandish Extra PDF Alas and alack, many of the places we’ve read about in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series of novels— places we’ve fallen deeply in love with—don’t exist in the real world. Though founded on impressively thorough and extensive research, these places were invented by a talented author. As such, they are fictional locations that you cannot visit. This PDF is a collection of the most beloved, fictional, Outlandish sites. Craigh na Dun Prehistoric stone circles—as well as many Neolithic and Bronze age cairns, standing stones, and the like—are found all over Scotland. Below are two of several websites solely dedicated to Scottish stone circles and cairns. http://www.stonepages.com/scotland/scotland.html http://www.stonesofwonder.com/ [Outlander Season 1 screenshot segments (enhanced)] Sadly, Craigh na Dun—the stone circle that transports Claire from 1945 to 1743—doesn’t exist in the real‐world. From the Outlander Episode 1 script: Frank: Apparently there’s a circle of standing stones on a hill just outside [Inverness], and there’s a local group who still observe rituals there. As it happens, a stone circle just east of Inverness is convenient to visit when Outlandering in Scotland and fits the dialogue above. Clava Cairns (Site #11) is only a 4 minute drive (a 34 minute walk) from Culloden Battlefield (Site #12). Unfortunately, the Clava Cairns site looks absolutely nothing like Diana’s Craigh na Dun description, or the Craigh na Dun seen on screen.

  • THE EARLS of DALHOUSIE WHO WERE ALSO MEMBERS of the MOST ANCIENT and MOST NOBLE ORDER of the THISTLE (From Dennis Hurt and Wayne R
    THE EARLS OF DALHOUSIE WHO WERE ALSO MEMBERS OF THE MOST ANCIENT AND MOST NOBLE ORDER OF THE THISTLE (from Dennis Hurt and Wayne R. Premo) In 2017, Dennis Hurt (Clan member #636) and his Lady Susan, who are avid participants in the Colorado Scottish / Celtic Festivals each year, traveled to the United Kingdom as many of us have over these past decades. While visiting Scotland and particularly Edinburgh, they decided to “take in” St. Giles High Kirk (Kirk meaning Church; or High Kirk meaning Cathedral, in this case) which is located on High Street (The Royal Mile) in Old Town Edinburgh. St. Giles Cathedral or High Kirk of Edinburgh is THE principal place of worship of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh (Wikipedia online). St. Giles High Kirk today – The Royal Mile – Edinburgh While online websites have a great deal of information with photos about St. Giles High Kirk, what is important to this narrative is the fact that the Thistle Chapel, a section therein, was dedicated in 1911 to the Most AnCient anD Most Noble OrDer oF the Thistle, SCotlanD’s Foremost OrDer oF Chivalry. Again from Wikipedia: “The Most AnCient anD Most Noble OrDer oF the Thistle is an order of chivalry associated with Scotland. The current version of the Order was founded in 1687 by King James VII 1 of ScotlanD (James II of England and Ireland) who asserted that he was reviving an earlier Order. The Order consists of the Sovereign and sixteen Knights and Ladies, as well as certain "extra" knights (members of the British Royal Family and foreign monarchs).
