Extend Your Stay
Add 3 nights in Glasgow for only $249 USD (Single room: add $135 USD)
In Gaelic, Glasgow means "the Dear Green Place," a fitting title for the city with more parks per square mile than any other city in Europe. Famous for its passion for football (soccer) and its fabulous shops that beat those in Edinburgh hands-down, Glasgow is also renowned for its distinguished university, which is over 500 years old, and Kelvingrove Park, the vibrant meeting ground adjacent to it. Most impressive, though, are the Glaswegians, so genuine that their warmness and lyrical speech stay with you long after you depart Scotland's shores.

Day 2 - Glasgow
Join an optional excursion to the historic city of Stirling, famous for its central role in the Scottish Wars of Independence. It was here that Braveheart William Wallace held off British advances at the Battle of Stirling Bridge. (Mel Gibson’s movie took a creative license. In the film, there is no bridge in the battle.) The excursion includes a visit to dramatic Stirling Castle, site of Queen Mary’s crowning. Don’t miss panoramic views of Stirlingshire, the beautiful university campus and the highlands from atop the Monument.

Historic Scotland & Stirling Castle
Visit Stirling, a town steeped in the history of the Wars of Scottish Independence. For generations, Sterling's castle held off British advances and served as a rallying point for rebellious Scots; it was within Stirling Castle that the infant Mary Stewart was crowned Mary, Queen of Scots. In addition to the castle, you’ll also tour Stirling's quaint Old Town, which still retains its medieval look and feel. Then journey into the valley where "Braveheart" William Wallace beat back the British at the Battle of Stirling Bridge. Your excursion also includes a visit to the Antonine Wall, a UNESCO World Heritage Site built in 342 AD, just 20 years after the completion of Hadrian’s Wall. Visit what remains of the wall at Falkirk before taking a ride on the famous Falkirk Wheel, an ingenious boat-lift that carries boats from one canal to another.
