Day 3 - Lerwick, Scotland

Arrive: Mon 02 June 2025 / Depart: Mon 02 June 2025

The small and charming capital of the Shetland Islands, with its sea front of old houses and narrow streets, offering travellers its old districts and a warm port atmosphere. Geopark Shetland, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is located to the north. Incredibly well-preserved archaeological sites and ruins prove that the islands’ occupation dates back to the first Neolithic colonies. The Shetland Museum and Archives recounts the Shetlands’ history of heritage and culture: Lerwick’s abundant waters were even fished by the Dutch in the past.

Day 4 - Kirkwall

Arrive: Tue 03 June 2025 / Depart: Tue 03 June 2025

Capital of the Orkney archipelago, Kirkwall, which means “church bay”, is an ideal stopover before continuing on to the Northern Isles. Sheltered in a wide bay, the lively town welcomes the visitor with its charming paved alleyways edged by old houses and craft shops. Tankerness House, the oldest homestead in the town, is a must-see landmark. But the true architectural treasure of the aptly named Kirkwall is none other than its remarkable red and gold stone cathedral. And because whisky is inseparable from Scotland’s identity, stop at the Highland Park Distillery for a highly instructive visit.

Day 5 - Stornoway (Isle Lewis)

Arrive: Wed 04 June 2025 / Depart: Wed 04 June 2025

Discover Lewis, the largest island of the Hebrides, considered to be the cradle of Gaelic culture. Here, the peat- and heather- covered valleys and lochs stretch on to infinity, and numerous bird colonies have taken up residence in the long, jagged coastlines where. Not far from Stornoway, the island’s main town, built by the Vikings in the 9th century stands one of Scotland’s most prominent prehistoric sites: The Standing Stones of Callanish. Dating back to more than 3,000 years B.C., these imposing stones placed in a cruciform pattern were laid out according to the moon and stars and their main purpose was to keep track of seasonal cycles, as this was essential for farmers at the time.

Day 6 - Portree, Isle of Skye

Arrive: Thu 05 June 2025 / Depart: Thu 05 June 2025

Day 7 - Fort William, Scotland

Arrive: Fri 06 June 2025 / Depart: Fri 06 June 2025

Fort William is a fort in Hastings, Calcutta. It was built during the early years of the Bengal Presidency of British India. It sits on the eastern banks of the Hooghly River, the major distributary of the River Ganges. One of Kolkata's most enduring Raj-era edifices, it extends over an area of 70.9 hectares.

Day 7 - Loch Linnhe

Arrive: Fri 06 June 2025 / Depart: Fri 06 June 2025

Day 8 - Greenock

Arrive: Sat 07 June 2025 at 06:00 / Depart: Sat 07 June 2025

In the heart of the Clyde Valley, the bustling city of Glasgow contrasts starkly with the wild beauty of the surrounding countryside. Scotland?s biggest city overflows with landmarks from its extensive artistic heritage and outstanding architectural tradition. The city?s chequerboard layout makes walking through the major pedestrian thoroughfares easy: go with the flow and let the lively street atmosphere take you past the many Victorian monuments. Don?t miss the collections on display in the numerous museums and art galleries. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is an outstanding example.
