Rosslyn Chapel, Scottish Borders & Glenkinchie Distillery from Edinburgh

Explore the Mysteries of Rosslyn Chapel

From our starting point by the iconic Edinburgh Castle, we journey to the village of Roslin, home to the enigmatic Rosslyn Chapel (optional extra). Known as the "Library in Stone", this architectural marvel is adorned with thousands of intricate carvings, each telling its own story. Delve into the myths and legends surrounding the chapel, including connections to the Knight's Templar and the world-famous "Da Vinci Code". Whether you're a history buff or a fan of Dan Brown's best-selling novel, Rosslyn Chapel is sure to captivate your imagination.

Experience the Charm of Melrose and its Historic Abbey

Next, we venture into the picturesque Scottish Borders, a region celebrated for its rolling hills, lush valleys and rich heritage. Our destination is Melrose, the birthplace of Rugby Sevens and home to the ancient Melrose Abbey (optional extra). Founded in 660AD, this historic site is believed to hold the heart of Robert the Bruce, Scotland's famed king. You'll have time to explore the abbey and enjoy lunch in this quaint town, soaking in the local culture and history.

Savour the Flavours at Glenkinchie Distillery

As we make our way back to Edinburgh, we'll take in the stunning scenery of the Borders before arriving at our final stop: Glenkinchie Distillery, one of the last remaining distilleries in the Lowlands and the Lowland home of Johnnie Walker. Here, you'll embark on a relaxed tour to learn about the traditional art of whisky-making, followed by a tasting session (optional extra) of some of Glenkinchie's finest single malts.
