Today, we'll be transferred to the centre of Dundee with free time to explore. Dundee is the perfect destination for art lovers, with The McManus at the heart of art and culture in the city and the Dundee Contemporary Arts Centre showcasing interesting installations.

We also include a visit to V&A Dundee while here. Designed by internationally acclaimed Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, this museum opened in 2018 and it is the first Victoria and Albert Museum outside of London. Dundee was often visited by Queen Victoria during her reign because it was on her route to Balmoral Castle.

Afterwards, why not continue to explore the waterfront? One of the largest active regeneration projects in the UK, this area is also home to Slessor Gardens, Dundee Urban Beach, Discovery Point, and RRS Discovery – the ship that took Scott and Shackleton to Antarctica in 1901!

Scotland's most beautiful castle, Glamis Castle, awaits today. With over 1,000 years of history to explore – from Royal tales to fabled Macbeth Trails – this promises to be a great day out! The castle was the home of Queen Elizabeth II's grandparents, where she spent many happy childhood holidays, and it was also birthplace of Princess Margaret. You’re guaranteed to be impressed by the majesty of this wonderful castle from the moment you enter the Queen Mother Gates and see the turrets and towers nestled in the landscape.

From here, we continue to Scone Palace. The original home of the legendary Stone of Destiny, Scone Palace is spectacular and contains a superb collection of French furniture, delicate china and valuable treasures.

As we knew which holiday we fancied, it was easier to use the 'search' feature, rather than 'holiday type, departing from, departure date etc'. Otherwise, the booking experience was simple and customer friendly.

Enjoyable break met some lovely people. The coach driver Chris know as Chris the hero was excellent. The hotel was clean and comfortable but my room was very basic and shabby. Jordan the barman was brilliant. The food not so good. The days out were pleasant but after going round the Royal Yacht there was too much time left with very little to do before rejoining the coach.

Great tour and experience, though quite tiring at times. Places visited were wonderful. Hotels were good, though the hotel in Fuiggi was very basic and slightly run down. Paid a single supplement, but had a single bed at one of the hotels, so would question the reason for this. Drivers, Gary and Dave were brilliant, so thank you guys for all your hard work.
