We even include a mini afternoon tea at Peel Farm.

Day 2: This morning we journey to the city of Dundee where we visit the V&A Museum of Design. We will enjoy a guided tour of the site, and learn the everyday relevance of design and how it improves our lives. We will experience the processes that underpin it and discover the little-known stories of Scottish Design with international impact. After our visit, we have free time to explore Dundee at your own leisure. Why not visit Discovery Point or board Captain Scott’s ship, the RRS Discovery.

Day 3: After a leisurely breakfast we visit the Perth Museum. The highlight of the collection is the recently returned Stone of Scone, known as the ‘Stone of Destiny’. The Stone has been used to crown Kings and Queens since the 9th Century and featured in the coronation of King Charles III. Enjoy a guided tour and learn about the significance and heritage of this historical artifact. This afternoon we travel the short distance to Scone Palace. The Palace has an exciting and colourful history as one of Scotland's most important stately homes. It has been the seat of parliaments and the crowning place of the Kings of Scots, including Macbeth and Robert The Bruce. The Palace houses an outstanding collection of antiques, paintings and rare artefacts and the grounds are renowned throughout the world.
