NCL Jade, May 31 Braveheart Tour

[jhorn4489]

Anybody interested in a private tour in Edinburgh? My daughter and I will be going on this tour. We would like to split the cost if anyone would like to join us.

 

The amount is in pounds and I know there is £29.00 tax. A total of

£229.00. Equals out to £57.25 pp A LOT LESS THAN THE SHIP EXCURSIONS.

 

 

The tour company web site:

 

We will take your party of up to four on a scenic and historic journey through Scotland. *

In Balquhidder where he lies with his wife and two sons

•Stirling Castle

The grandest of Scotland's castles and one of the most popular visitor attractions in the country.

•Linlithgow Palace

Home to the Stewart's, probably most famous for being Mary Queen of Scots birthplace

You should post this in the roll call for the trip. Someone from your cruise is much more likely to see the offer.

Thee are 4 in our group. We thought of taking a taxi to Edinburough Castle but your trip sounds great too. Might be interested. We are also wanting info on renting a car for some of the other ports to see the countryside mentioned in the itinerary of NCL's excursions.

Sounds wonderful. Wish I were going, but I'm not:(.

 

"The Lake of Mentieth

Scotland's only Lake"

 

I was thinking about this and trying to figure out how it could be "true", as there are many lakes in Scotland (approx. 130?), including perhaps the most famous lake in the world, Loch Ness.

 

There must be some qualifications on the above claim. To me, a lake by any other name is still a lake:).

 

That being said, I would still love to go to the Lake of Mentieth!

 

I saw this itinerary and REALLY wanted to go and take my grandmother, who lived in Scotland for a few years in the 1950's.

 

jhorn, have a wonderful time!!! I know you will!

;)All the other stretches of water are called lochs, forths, tarns or meres. It's the same where I live, in the Lake District-the most famous stretch is Winder-mere; my nearest lake is Wastwater. Some are old Gallic names, some Celtic and some Viking-jocap.

My group of four will be on that cruise. What is the URL of the site offering the Braveheart tour? I gather from your note that the company's maximum is 6 folks.

 

BTY, the pound is worth about US$1.51.
