Ayrshire, Isle of Bute and Glasgow

Local departure by coach or Home Connect Service, before continuing to our comfortable overnight hotel in northern England.

Continue to Scotland and the Riverside Lodge Hotel in Irvine for five nights.

We visit cosmopolitan Glasgow, where there’s so much to see and do – stylish shops, cultural treasures and rich history and heritage.

Later, the day continues with a tour of the island, which is 15 miles long and 4 miles wide, passing Ettrick Bay, which boasts a mile of golden sand. We also see Scalpsie Bay, which is home to over 200 seals.

We end the tour at what is possibly the most flamboyant great house in the UK - Mount Stuart. Time to stroll the labyrinth of rooms as well as taking in the fine scenery from the well laid out and expansive gardens which cover over 300 acres.

Relax in the hotel with a day at leisure.

Afternoon tour visiting Ayr before heading to the pretty village of Alloway with time to roam the home of Scotland’s most famous poet – Robert Burns. Heading south along the coast, take in the sea views across the Firth to Arran. Experience the mysterious Electric Brae as you pass Culzean Castle.

We make a stop for photos at the famous Trump Turnberry Hotel and Ailsa Craig Island.

We make out way back south and onto our overnight hotel in north England.

Return home.
