Stay at Prestonfield House, an elegant country mansion complete with croquet lawn, located just 5 minutes drive from the city center.

Scottish teaWednesday - WHISKY/INVERNESS
Visions of highland games, golf, haggis, remote islands, tartans and fine malt whisky come to life as you tour the countryside. The Whisky Trail passes little Highland villages en route to the Glenfiddich Distillery, where you sample the famous "water of life". Cawdor Castle, the place Shakespeare had in mind when he wrote Macbeth is nearby. The battle of Culloden was fought near Inverness. Stay at Culloden House, a gracious ivy clad Georgian mansion. The house's history includes spies, sieges, high chieftains and romance. (B)

Thursday - LOCH NESS/SKYE
Castle in snow Pass the Caledonian Canal, which links the lochs of the Great Glen to the North and Irish Seas. View Loch Ness, the legendary home of "Nessie". Monster spotting is a favorite pastime here from the ruined Castle Urquhart. As you trace the shores of crystal-clear lochs, the most photographed castle in Scotland, Eilean Donan Castle appears. Travel over the sea to Skye, associated with Bonnie Prince Charlie. Viewfield, the ancestral home of the MacDonalds, is decorated with trophies of hunt safaris. A dinner party atmosphere prevails here. (B)

Friday - SKYE
Explore the inner Hebridean Isle of Skye, with nearly a thousand miles of dramatic coastline of sheer cliffs sweeping down to the sea, and an interior of wild peat bogs. At Portree, pastel houses line the streets and fishing boats bob in the harbor. At the Skye Croft Museum, see a traditional family home, a smithy, and a weaver's house. Visit Dunvegan Castle, the MacLeod stonghold. (B)
