Highlights

Led by our History buff, Spencer, who's a mine of knowledge about all things Trains and Planes this tour is squarely aimed at visitors to Scotland that want to do something a wee bit different to the usual Bagpipes and Whisky tours. If you've a fascination with things that go 'Bang', 'Whoosh' or 'Chuff' then this tour is for you. You'll see, feel, touch and sit in unique aircraft like the Concorde, and gaze up into the massive Vulcan V Bomber where Britain's nuclear deterrent was strapped to the underside throughout the Cold War. You'll get the chance to ride behind a working heritage steam locomotive, with the historical explanations of where it was built and where it worked during it's service life. Spencer will also point out other marvels of Scottish Engineering like the 3 Bridges including the iconic Forth Rail Bridge. Depending on cruise departure time we may have the opportunity to cross the Forth on the new Queensferry Crossing for a Photostop on the north bank of the Forth

About Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Schottlands Hauptstadt auf Vulkanhügeln: Burg auf dem Felsen, mittelalterliche Altstadt und elegante georgianische Neustadt.

Edinburgh Castle krönt den Castle Rock und bewahrt die Honours of Scotland, die schottischen Kronjuwelen. Von dort führt die Royal Mile bergab durch die Altstadt, vorbei an der St Giles' Cathedral und einem Gewirr enger Closes, zum Palace of Holyroodhouse und zum Schottischen Parlament. Arthur's Seat, ein uralter Vulkan, erhebt sich mit weiten Ausblicken über dem Palast.
