It is also the golf world capital with its prestigious Old Course where many celebrities came to play, like Tiger Woods or Sean Connery.
This city is also the home to the oldest university in Scotland. Explore the streets and visit the castle and cathedral ruins. These beautiful buildings, headquarters of Scottish catholic church, were destroyed during the protestant reformation.

In the afternoon, continue your trip North. Take a stop to admire one of the most beautiful castle of Scotland: Glamis Castle, home of the Earl and Countess of Strathmore and Kinghorne. Drive along the coast to the small harbour of Stonehaven, and enjoy a photo break at Dunnotar Castle, built on the cliff over the sea, and used in many films as Macbeth or Brave.

This medieval city is considered the capital of the Highlands and the heart of Scottish rebellions. Finish your day by visiting a kilt factory: this traditional cloth of Highlands will have no more secrets for you.

Day 5. INVERNESS – EILEAN DONAN – ISLE OF SKYE Breakfast.

Stop in this lovely city nested at the foot of Ben Nevis, the highest mountain of United Kingdom. In the afternoon, you will go through Glen Coe.
This romantic deep valley was carved out centuries ago by icy glaciers and volcanic explosions. It is known to be the place of Massacre of Glencoe, where Jacobite members of the Macdonald clan where killed by British soldiers in 17th century. Nowadays, Glen Coe is one of the most beautiful and other-worldly places in Scotland. It's even featured in films such as

William Wallace, aka Braveheart, led the Scottish clans against British soldiers in 1292. This battle was followed by King Robert of Bruce’s victory in 1314 at Bannockburn battle and was the first step of Scottish independence. The William Wallace Monument, which proudly sits outside the town of Stirling, commemorates this national hero. Visit Stirling Castle, built on a volcanic
stone overlooking the city. This medieval castle is a great symbol of Scottish independence and a source of national pride. It was the seat of Scottish monarchy during centuries. The famous Mary, Queen of Scots was crowned in the chapel, years before her tragic doom. Many knights and foreign ambassadors once streamed to the Royal Court to revel in the splendour of its walls. Take the time to relax with a traditional afternoon after your visit. Drive to Edinburgh.
