The Borders to the Highlands

June 21 - July 02, 2009

An Invitation

Come with me for 10 adventure - filled days to explore the gardens and castles of magnificent Scotland.  Imagine wild, untamed scenery and a fascinating, romantic, and violent history played out over a rugged and diverse landscape.  Imagine waking each morning to enjoy a sumptuous breakfast, prepared to your order, and savoring a banquet of the freshest local produce, meat, and seafood each evening.  At night, walk the baronial halls graced centuries ago by members of ancient nobility, and sleep in beautifully restored and opulently furnished bedchambers that were occupied long ago by Scottish gentry.  Hear the gossip of centuries of the intrigue and history of this hardy land, and the political innuendo of past and present conflicts with England, from acclaimed and entertaining experts.  Stroll in some of the most glorious gardens in the world with internationally experienced plant experts.  Imagine all the typically Scottish activities you might enjoy in free moments: golf, whiskey tasting, shopping, walking and birding.  If this sounds intriguing, plan to accept my invitation to explore a wide swath of Scotland with a small group of discriminating and luxury-loving plant and garden enthusiasts.  I look forward to welcoming you!
