Fly overnight to Edinburgh

Get lost exploring the city’s attractions such as the Royal Mile, St Giles Cathedral, and dip into the shops for some souvenirs. This amazing city with it’s cobblestone streets and ancient history along with incredible pubs and restaurants is sure to delight.

Today we head North! Stop for a quick tour of Blair castle. Enjoy lunch in a traditional Scotland village and then it’s on to Inverness.  Explore Inverness and in the late afternoon head out on a stroll through a highland area and enjoy evening Yoga surrounded by incredible views.  Remember, the sun doesn’t set until 10PM.

Today we hike along the River Lochy Falls (this hike is suitable for any level of health and skill) and we also get to enjoy one last afternoon of doing Yoga in the Highlands. Where will we do Yoga you ask? Loch Ness! That’s right…you will all get to do yoga while looking out over Loch Ness and maybe we will even see Nessy.

Today we head to Glencoe and more amazing walks along the highlands. In the afternoon we head off to visit a Scottish Whiskey Distillery and learn all about how this drink helped finance Scotland throughout its history.

Today we head to the famed Steall Falls and Nevis Gorge where we will walk the highlands and do yoga while listening to the rushing water of the Falls.

Today we do something really special and head to the Orkney Islands for a dream overnight at a bed and breakfast. We will enjoy yoga along the cliffs listening to the waves crash along the seaside.

Heading back from the Orkney’s we meander South stopping at Culloden Fields the site of the last battle between the Scottish Highlanders and British backed Military. Culloden spelled the final doom for a way of life that had lasted centuries. In the late afternoon we head back to Edinburgh.

A final morning Yoga in the Park and then it’s off to explore Dr Neil’s Garden, see some local sites and enjoy one last afternoon in this amazing city. In the evening we take a nighttime tour of the “darker” side of Edinburgh.

Fly home from Edinburgh.
