• Dundee – is Scotland's fourth-largest city with a mid-year population estimate of roughly 150,000 people. It lies within the eastern central Lowlands on the north bank of the Firth of Tay, which feeds into the North Sea. Historically part of Angus, the city developed into a burgh in the late 12th century and established itself as an important east coast trading port. Rapid expansion was brought on by the Industrial Revolution, particularly in the 19th century when Dundee was the centre of the global jute industry. This, along with its other major industries gave Dundee its epithet as the city of "jute, jam and journalism". Today, Dundee is promoted as "One City, Many Discoveries" in honour of Dundee's history of scientific activities and of the RRS Discovery, Robert Falcon Scott's Antarctic exploration vessel, which was built in Dundee and is now berthed at Discovery Point. Biomedical and technological industries have arrived since the 1980s, and the city now accounts for 10% of the United Kingdom's digital-entertainment industry. Dundee has two universities — the University of Dundee and the Abertay University. In 2014 Dundee was recognised by the United Nations as the UK's first UNESCO City of Design for its diverse contributions to fields including medical research, comics and video games. A unique feature of Dundee is that its two professional football clubs Dundee United and Dundee F.C. have stadiums all but adjacent to each other. The city has adopted a culture- driven plan to regenerate and reinvent itself with the goal of overcoming the social and economic deficits associated with post-industrial cities. In pursuit of this, a £1 billion master plan to regenerate and to reconnect the Waterfront to the city centre, started in 2001 and is expected to be completed within a 30-year period, with the Dundee Victoria & Albert Museum opening by 2018 at a cost of £80 million. • Overnight in Dundee (SCOTLAND) – preferred choice of accommodation as per - Appendix 4 Directory - ( 1 shared dbl / twin room )

• Aberdeen - is the third-largest city in Scotland, known as the centre of the North Sea Oil industry and for its granite architecture. The city has a population of over 220,000. It is a harbour city located on Scotland's north-east coast, where the Rivers Dee and Don meet the North Sea. Although remote by UK standards, this is no backwater; Aberdeen is a prosperous and cosmopolitan city (partly due to North Sea oil) and is characterised by its grand and ornate architecture. Most buildings are constructed out of granite quarried in and around the city, and as a result, Aberdeen is often referred to as The Granite City. It is also known for its many outstanding parks, gardens and floral displays throughout the city, as well as its long, sandy beach. Aberdeen also boasts the title of Oil Capital of Europe and has been voted in several polls as the happiest place in Britain. Aberdeen does not attract as many tourists as other Scottish destinations such as Edinburgh or St Andrews, and can feel more authentic. It is a great place to stop on a tour of Scotland, and especially good as a base for exploring the wider region to take advantage of the castles, golf, whisky distilleries, scenery, mountains (including skiing and snowboarding), coast and other attractions in Aberdeenshire and Royal Deeside. Aberdeen is smaller than Glasgow and Edinburgh, but larger than other Scottish cities. Together, all this gives Aberdeen an air of self-sufficiency found in few places in Britain today.

Glen Moray is a partner member of the world famous Malt Whisky Trail. A warm welcome awaits you at Glen Moray Distillery in Elgin. Indeed, an old Moray saying proclaims that the Laich of Moray has forty days more summer than any other part of Scotland – making Glen Moray one of the sunniest distilleries in Speyside.

• Inverness - is a city at the heart of the Scottish Highlands and the principal centre for administration and commerce. It is the most northern city in the British Isles. Advertised as "the Gateway to the Highlands" by the local authority, and long regarded as the capital of the Highlands, Inverness is the centre for commerce and industry in the Scottish Highlands, with continuing new investment in traditional industries and new hi-tech industries. It is also said to be one of the fastest growing cities in Europe. The city attracts considerable numbers of tourists drawn to the legend of the Loch Ness Monster, which according to mythology is purported to inhabit the Loch Ness that runs to the south of Inverness. • Inverness – optional tours & sightseeing : 1) Inverness Castle – 2) Inverness Museum & Art Gallery – 3) Old High Church – 4) Ship Space & Titanic Scale Model – 5) Walk the Caledonian Canal towpath – 6) Inverness historic city centre 7) Inverness Old Town – 8) Victorian market – 9) Eastgate Centre Shopping Malls. • Inverness – tours & sightseeing : Caledonian Canal Boat Trip - when we think about boat trips, many of us will automatically think about trips along some of the more better known rivers in Europe such as the Danube or the Seine. However, what about a boat trip that will take in some of the most spectacular scenery in the world? That is exactly what is on offer to those who opt for Caledonian Canal boat trips. At any time of the year, a Caledonian Canal boat trip will mean you get to view stunning beauty in breath-taking surroundings. The Caledonian Canal was constructed by Thomas Telford at the beginning of the 19th century and serves to connect the east and west coasts of Scotland. Two-thirds of the 60-mile long canal was formed by four lochs – Loch Ness, Loch Lochy, Loch Dochfour, and Loch Oich. The remaining third is man-made. The reason for the construction was initially to create employment in the Highland area but, over time, it has become a tourist attraction, with more than half a million visitors coming to the region every year. Any visit to the Highlands of Scotland would not be complete without a trip on the Caledonian Canal. This one-hour journey will provide you with the chance to see some amazing scenery. Take the opportunity to put your photography skills to work by snapping some of the beautiful mountains, glens, and lochs. The great thing about a cruise along the Caledonian Canal is that it is an enjoyable experience for the entire family. Informative commentary will detail the most interesting parts of the history of the canal from famous Clan Battles to interesting monuments and castles. • Overnight in Inverness (SCOTLAND) – preferred choice of accommodation as per - Appendix 4 Directory - ( 1 shared dbl / twin room )

Visit the malt barn – a long, two-storey warehouse where barley was turned into malt. See the kiln where the barley was dried over a lightly-peated fire. Marvel at the mash tun – the great vat where the malted barley and water were mixed to create a sugary ‘wort’. Count the six great washbacks where yeast fermented the sugary wort into a weak alcohol called ‘wash’.

Enter the bonded warehouses where the finished product was left to mature for at least three years. • More info here - http://www.dallasdhu.com/ • Optional Lunch (at own expense) in Forres at a local restaurant – MOSSET TAVERN - http://www.mossettavern.com/ • Whisky Trail – a visit to Benromach Distillery : watch whisky made by hand, the old way.

Loch Ness is best known for alleged sightings of the cryptozoological Loch Ness Monster, also known affectionately as "Nessie". • Fort William, Highland - is the second largest settlement in the Highlands of Scotland with around 10,000 inhabitants — and the largest town: only the city of Inverness is larger. Fort William is a major tourist centre, with Glen Coe just to the south, Aonach Mòr to the east and Glenfinnan to the west, on the Road to the Isles. It is a centre for hillwalking and climbing due to its proximity to Ben Nevis and many other Munro mountains. It is also known for its nearby downhill mountain bike track. It is the start/end of both the West Highland Way (Milngavie-Fort William) and the Great Glen Way (a walk/cycle way Fort William-Inverness). Around 726 people (7.33% of the population) can speak Gaelic.

Day 6: FORT WILLIAM – THE JACOBITE STEAM TRAIN – MALLAIG - GLENCOE – GLASGOW (B) • Available types of accommodation : Hotel (First 3 ½***) - Hotel (Deluxe 4****) – Hotel (Prestige 5*****) – Date : day 00 Month -2017.

• Complimentary breakfast at your Hotel or at the Castle. • Inter City Transfer – Jacobite Steam Train – from (Fort William ETD 10:15am) to (Mallaig ETA 12:25pm) – 70km / 42mi / 2hrs10’ • The Jacobite Steam Train - "The greatest railway journey in the world." - described as the greatest railway journey in the world, this 84 mile round trip takes you past a list of impressive extremes. Starting near the highest mountain in Britain, Ben Nevis, it visits Britain’s most westerly mainland railway station, Arisaig; passes close by the deepest freshwater loch in Britain, Loch Morar and the shortest river in Britain, River Morar, finally arriving next to the deepest seawater loch in Europe, Loch Nevis! The train stops en route to Mallaig at the village of Glenfinnan. Beyond Glenfinnan are the beautiful villages of Lochailort, Arisaig, Morar and Mallaig. You may alight at Arisaig by request to the guard. From here, on a clear summer’s day, you can see the “Small Isles” of Rum, Eigg, Muck, Canna and the southern tip of Skye. The train continues on from here passing Morar and the silvery beaches used in the films “Highlander” and “Local Hero”. The route takes you through spectacular mountainous scenery, offering some of the best views of Scotland that you can enjoy without actually having to do any hiking. Trains cross the remote Rannoch Moor, and north of Fort William, the line crosses the spectacular Glenfinnan Viaduct, a hundred-year-old stone arched rail bridge which was brought to fame in the Harry Potter movies (the bridge also features on the Bank of Scotland £10 note). Sit on the left of the train for the best views. The Jacobite special steam train service along this line to Mallaig, is very popular with tourists and day-trippers, especially due to the associations with the Harry Potter franchise. • Glencoe - is a famous valley ("glen") in the Scottish Highlands and also the name of the village adjacent to the glen on the western side. It is owned by the National Trust for Scotland and is considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful places in Scotland. It is a part of the designated National Scenic Area of Ben Nevis and Glen Coe. Loch Leven, in the adjacent area, is a salt water loch connected to Loch Linnhe, a sea loch. • Glencoe – optional tours & sightseeing : 2 hours walk in The Lost Valley & path leading to the Three sisters (Scottish Highlands) : the Lost Valley was where the Macdonalds were supposed to hide the cattle they had rustled from their neighbours, or perhaps, where they hid their cattle to stop them being rustled by their neighbours! The geologists tell us that the lost valley was formed by the weight of ice that could not escape from the valley as the huge ice cap flowed down to the sea through the pass of Glencoe from off Rannoch Moor. Even knowing all this, the size of the valley still comes as a complete surprise the first time it is viewed. Looking down from the car park towards where the river must be – the gorge is so deep that the river is not really visible from the car park – the old road can be seen. Descend to the old road and turn left along it. Soon a set of metal steps lead down to a bridge over the river.

• A brief scramble up the rocks on the other side joins the path that rises quite steeply up the hill between Beinn Fhada and Gearr Aonach, the left two of the three sisters of Glencoe. All the way into the valley the path is quite clear even when it crosses the deer fence. There is a small river to cross shortly before to arrive at the lost valley itself, and this can be tricky or not even possible if the river is in spate after a period of heavy rain. Coming up over the final rise the valley stretches out a long way to each side and forward to the buttresses leading up to Bidean nam Bean. It is good to wander around the valley for a short while and consider, ”how on earth did the Macdonalds get the cattle up here in the first place?“. Glencoe Mountain chairlift ride (for the less fit) : The Glencoe Mountain Resort is set in an area that is renowned for it’s scenic beauty; and one of the best ways to view this stunning scenery is by taking the chairlift. Enjoy a relaxing trip back down the same way, alternatively you can walk or mountain bike. The chairlift runs throughout the year and takes you from the valley floor up to 2200ft in just 12 minutes with spectacular views of waterfalls, Ranoch Moor and towards the Buchaille Etive Mor.

• Glasgow - is the largest city in Scotland, and third largest in the United Kingdom. Historically part of Lanarkshire, it is now one of the 32 Council Areas of Scotland. It is situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands. Inhabitants of the city are often referred to as Glaswegians or Weegies. Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become the largest seaport in Britain. Expanding from the medieval bishopric and royal burgh, and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow in the 15th century, it became a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment in the 18th century. From the 18th century the city also grew as one of Great Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West Indies. With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the population and economy of Glasgow and the surrounding region expanded rapidly to become one of the world's pre-eminent centres of chemicals, textiles and engineering; most notably in the shipbuilding and marine engineering industry, which produced many innovative and famous vessels. Glasgow was the "Second City of the British Empire" for much of the Victorian era and Edwardian period, although many cities argue the title was theirs. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries Glasgow grew in population, reaching a peak of 1,128,473 in 1939. Comprehensive urban renewal projects in the 1960s, resulting in large-scale relocation of people to new towns and peripheral suburbs, followed by successive boundary changes, reduced the population of the City of Glasgow council area to 599,650 with 1,209,143 people living in the Greater Glasgow urban area. The entire region surrounding the conurbation covers about 2.3 million people, 41% of Scotland's population. At the 2011 census, Glasgow had a population density of 8,790/sq mi (3,390/km2), the highest of any Scottish city. Glasgow hosted the 2014 Commonwealth Games. Glasgow is also well known in the sporting world for the football rivalry of the Old Firm between Celtic and Rangers. Glasgow is also known for Glasgow patter, a distinct dialect that is noted for being difficult to understand by those from outside the city.
