In evidenza

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 Edimburgo

Edimburgo, capitale scozzese su colli vulcanici: castello su una rupe, Città Vecchia medievale ed elegante Città Nuova georgiana.

Il Castello di Edimburgo corona Castle Rock e custodisce gli Honours of Scotland, i gioielli della corona scozzese. Da lì il Royal Mile scende attraverso la Città Vecchia, oltre la cattedrale di St Giles e un dedalo di stretti closes, fino al Palazzo di Holyroodhouse e al Parlamento scozzese. Arthur's Seat, un antico vulcano, si innalza sopra il palazzo con ampie viste.
