Rute

1. We will first visit the remains of Rosslyn Castle and discover the secrets of Scotland's most famous chapel. Rosslyn Chapel was built in the mid-15th century on a small hill, thus becoming a nerve center of the Catholic church. Today, the chapel is known for its connections with Freemasonry, the Knights Templar and the Holy Grail. The writer Dan Brown, with his novel The Da Vinci Code, made it famous for housing it. We will discover these connections through the explanations in the guide.

2. Next it’s time to get into the pastures of the Lowlands. The depth of its deep green will bring us closer to Jedburgh, a small royal-related village located very close to the Anglo-Scottish border, where we will have time to recharge and continue on our way to English territory.

   45 min

3. At Hadrian's Wall we will also have the opportunity to visit one of his military camps: Vindolanda. We will observe some of the excavation works and discover how it was built and how its workers lived. In short, we will be transported to one of the most important moments in human history. Vindolanda is certainly one of the best preserved Roman forts on Hadrian’s Wall, but you’ll have to travel to Cawfields to appreciate it in all its glory.

   2 t

4. Once we cross the border, we cross Northumberland National Park. On the southern edge of this park, one of the main objectives of our excursion will await us: Hadrian's Wall, 117.5 km from east to west, which was also a dazzling example of the engineering works of the Roman Empire since, with limited means but with very bold results, those Romans built the northern border of their Empire. Apart from all this, the wall divided the island of Great Britain in two while containing the Viking and Celtic forces of Scotland.

   30 min

5. Returning to the city of Edinburgh, we will make a final stop at Melrose Abbey, considered one of the most magnificent examples of medieval ecclesiastical architecture in the British Isles.

About Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Skotlands hovedstad, rejser sig på vulkanske bakker, med et slot på en klippe, en middelalderlig gammel bydel og en elegant georgiansk New Town.

Edinburgh Castle kroner Castle Rock og opbevarer Honours of Scotland, de skotske kronjuveler. Derfra løber Royal Mile ned ad den gamle bydel, forbi St Giles' Cathedral og et virvar af smalle closes, til Holyroodhouse-paladset og det skotske parlament. Arthur's Seat, en oldgammel vulkan, rejser sig over paladset med vid udsigt.
