Scotland Tartan Package

The Scotland Tartan Bed and Breakfast Package is perfect for independent travelers who wish the flexibility of creating their own itinerary around Scotland. Enjoy your first night pre-booked at the Jury's Inn in Glasgow or Edinburgh and then choose the next 5 nights from over 400 Discover Bed & Breakfasts sprinkled throughout Scotland, or upgrade to Premier B&Bs (private bath) with automatic car for only $79 for the week. Enjoy home cooked Scottish breakfasts, personalized Scottish hospitality and experiences which last a lifetime.

Travel Scotland and if you are interested in staying in Edinburgh for your first night travelers will fly into Glasgow airport, pick up their car rental and drive approximately 45 minutes to Edinburgh. Both cities offer travelers an incredible first night at two of Scotland's liveliest cities. Recommended visits along your journey are Loch Ness (Inverness), town of St. Andrews, Edinburgh Castle and many more areas waiting to be discovered.

Glasgow's East End traditionally begins at the city's ancient heart, the long and rising thoroughfares of High Street and Castle Street, which are bookended by two of the city's oldest buildings, the medieval Cathedral and the Tron Steeple at Glasgow Cross.
It is a large, densely packed residential area which, although a little off the tourist trail, has a number of spectacular gems worth seeking out.

Travel Scotland and discoverThree hundred yards down either London Road or Gallowgate from Glasgow Cross is The Barras, the city’s largest and most popular weekend market. The fast-talking traders, lively atmosphere and entertaining vignettes of Glasgow life make it an off-beat diversion from shopping-mall banality.

Travel Scotland and see that between London Road and the River Clyde are the wide and tree-lined spaces of Glasgow Green. Reputedly the oldest public park in Britain, the Green has been common land since at least 1178, when it was first mentioned in records and is ideal for Sunday morning strolls or bike-rides. The Green's natural focal point is The People's Palace, a wonderfully haphazard evocation of the city's social history. As a museum, it's refreshingly unpretentious and visitors are almost always outnumbered by local families. Grafted onto the rear of the Palace is the Winter Gardens, a large Victorian glasshouse complete with café, water garden, twittering birds and assorted tropical plants and shrubs. Newly relocated to outside the museum is the wonderfully restored Doulton Fountain, a hugely ornate terracotta monument to the reach of the Victorian British Empire.
