Set in a stunning Capability Brown landscape, Alnwick Castle (pronounced Annick) is the second largest inhabited castle in England, after Windsor Castle, and was extensively used for the broomstick flying and Quiddich games in the Harry Potter films. Enjoy the gardens, a spellbinding, mesmerising theatre of water and light. Return to Edinburgh for a traditional Scottish Music Show. Your internationally acclaimed host will guide you through some of our country's history and legend as you thrill to this unmissable showcase of Scotland's young talent! Pipe Major Andrew Coulter explains the compelling story of the bagpipes and unveils the unique history of his own set handed down to him by his great grandfather. Enjoy Robert Burns' traditional Address to the Haggis when it is ceremonially carried into the room, accompaniedby bagpipes. This traditional fare is then toasted by all with fine Scotch whisky!

Scottish KiltDid You Know? The Scottish Kilt
The weave of the cloth, and the way it was worn, tended to be dictated by the custom in a particular area, rather than a family or clan. In the absence of any real evidence to the contrary, it seems that this practice dates back only as far as the early 19th century. Prior to this, clansmen of all standing seemed to have worn a mixture of tartans without any sense of a standardized 'clan' design.

Tracing your family history is a journey of discovery which leads you to explore the lives and times of ancestors who lived hundreds of years ago - and perhaps even thousands of miles away - in circumstances which are all but unimaginable to you today.

ThreaveScotland's culture is rich in music, song and story, in both Scots and Gaelic languages - this is the land of the poet Burns and the ceilidh dance. Depending upon your departure date, we can include a highland game or music festival into your itinerary. Experience the heart-swelling spectacle of a lone piper on the castle ramparts, the massed pipe bands of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.

Musical events take place far and wide, from music festivals - an ideal opportunity to hear the Scottish fiddle in action. Before you know it, you'll be tapping your feet to impromptu sessions at the local pub or taking to the floor and joining in the fun at an organized ceilidh.
Customized Vacations If you have just eight persons in your party, we can operate this tour exclusively for you in a minibus, with an expert driver/guide. We can also modify the itinerary to suit your family's or group's needs, with or without activities for children in Scotland.
