Description
This one-day journey from Edinburgh traces the path of Scottish royalty, heroism, and faith through the country’s most iconic landmarks. Begin with views of the Forth Bridge, a marvel of Victorian engineering, before crossing into Fife. In Dunfermline, walk the grounds of the medieval abbey where Robert the Bruce lies buried, beneath the word “King” carved in stone above his tomb. Continue to Stirling, the “Gateway to the Highlands,” where castle walls whisper stories of Mary Queen of Scots, William Wallace, and centuries of royal intrigue. The final stop is Rosslyn Chapel — the 15th-century masterpiece made world-famous by *The Da Vinci Code*. Step inside its ornate stonework, uncover the symbolism behind its carvings, and decide for yourself whether the Holy Grail once rested here. With sweeping landscapes, deep history, and mystery at every turn, this is a quintessential Scottish adventure.
