The 2008/09 tours are some of the finest we've ever created. The following gives you a flavour of what to expect at the Ben Doran, Dalmally, Highland and Royal Hotels.
| WINTER COACH TOURS |
3-17 Jan, 28 Feb-28 Mar, 3-18 Jan 09 |
(not Alexandra)
- Oban and Appin
- Inveraray, Rest and be Thankful and Loch Lomond Shores
- The Famous Grouse Experience
- Glen Coe, Fort William and Rannoch Moor (opt) (on 5 day holidays there is one less excursion)
These five and six day winter and spring breaks start immediately after New Year and offer you a 'home from home' break with roaring coal fires, great food and fellowship. It is a time of year for old friends to gather, enjoy the music and entertainment and have the odd dram. Every day you can enjoy the countryside, roaming to places of great social and historical interest, such as Oban, Loch Lomond area, the Trossachs and Glen Coe. The excursions are designed for shorter days so you leave at 10.00am and return at 4.00pm, most relaxing and quite outstanding value for money. Each tour has daily excursions one of which, Glen Coe, is optional.
/* Highland Night, Fancy Dress, Candlelit Dinner.
