Mobility Requirements:
During most of our visits, you will be free to roam, but there is a fair amount of walking required—it’s Europe! For the convenience of the group, however, everyone must be able to walk up to approximately 2 miles per day (in total), at a reasonable pace, to keep up with the group (1.5 miles per hour).

That’s me in the wheelchair on Victoria Street in Edinburgh, c.2016. I had such a bad case of sciatica that I could neither stand nor walk for very long… Thankfully after physical therapy it has gone never to return…whew!

This tour of Scotland is filled with beauty, culture and history, served in a most palatable way! We will travel from Glasgow to the Scottish Highlands and Inverness, and return to Edinburgh via Pitlochry and St. Andrews on the east coast. Our visits include an amazing cathedral, three beautiful castles from different time periods, the very poignant Culloden Battlefield and its interpretive exhibit, one manor house, working dogs on a sheep farm, birds of prey, and a royal palace! And to top it off—Blair Athol Distillery! A day-to-day itinerary will be available as soon as the pricing is finalized.
