Every view looks like a legend.
Edinburgh is one of the most atmospheric cities in Europe, with a castle perched on an extinct volcano, cobbled lanes winding down the Royal Mile and a skyline straight out of a fairy tale.
Just over an hour west, Loch Lomond opens the door to the Highlands: rolling hills, mirror-still water and lochside lodges made for a whisky tasting. Add a private castle dinner, a bagpiper and a ceilidh, and your group will talk about it for years.
