Overview: RTT will delight you with a 6-day tour including many of the highlights of Northern Scotland, and ending in Edinburgh for the Military Tattoo.

Join RTT Travel for the foremost Military festival in the world – set against the backdrop of the world-famous Castle in Edinburgh, Scotland!  See the whole performance from your reserved seats – the military bands, choruses and gymnasts from all over the world who come to astound the spectators in front of Edinburgh Castle.  Every year over one million people view the Tattoo on television.  Be one of the 200,000 in 2008 who are privileged to watch it in person!

Day 1:  Travel directly from Ramstein Air Base with our RTT Tour Escort on the airport shuttle or meet the group at the Frankfurt Airport prior for check in.  Fly from Frankfurt to Edinburgh and enjoy an orientation to Edinburgh city and a tour into one of the hidden historical corners of underground Edinburgh in the Real Mary Kings Close!  Transfer to your hotel in the area of Edinburgh.  Evening meal and overnight at your hotel.

Day 2:    After breakfast in your hotel drive further to the gateway of the Grampian mountains and Blair Castle, the white fairytale castle from the 13th century which is still allowed its own private army still today.  After your castle visit, explore one of the few distilleries still in private hands – Edradour Distillery - where you can explore and taste the product.  With a drive past scenic mountain views you will reach your hotel in the area of Inverness.  Dinner and overnight in your hotel. 

Day 3:    After breakfast in your hotel, the Loch Ness monster legends will accompany you as the boat excursion in Drumnadrochit searches for Nessie.  Take some fantastic photos at the Urquard Castle and wander the streets of the Highlands capitol of Inverness.   Evening meal and overnight at your hotel.
Day 4:
 
  Breakfast in your hotel begins the day of exploration into the highlands toward Loch Ness.  Today’s highlights are not only the gigantic towering rock formations of the Ben Nevis, but Fort William and the drive along the king of  Scottish Lochs, Loch Lomond. An exceptional opportunity awaits you with a visit to Stirling Castle.  Evening meal and overnight at your hotel in the area of Edinburgh.

Day 5:     After breakfast in your hotel, a local guide will present you the historical and cultural details of Edinburgh, along with tales of local personages and legends of Scotland.  The afternoon is free to experience Edinburgh, as you wish.  From the Castle and the Royal Mile to the royal residence at Holyrood Palace, from the Dynamic Earth to the elegant shops on Princes Street, you will have the chance to explore Edinburgh and experience the exuberant lifestyle for yourself - in shops or in pubs, as you like it! Maybe you’ll decide to visit Edinburgh Castle – the formidable fortress which dominates the city.   Military Tattoo tickets for the event tonight are included in your tour package. A bus awaits for the transfer to and from the Tattoo event. Dinner and hotel overnight in the Edinburgh area.

Day 6:
 
  After breakfast in your hotel and check out, transfer to the airport for your return flight to Frankfurt.
