Scotland 2027
Eighty-four of us went to Scotland in 2023. Seventy-six went to Ireland in 2025. A fair number did both, which tells you most of what you need to know about how these trips go.
Came in 2023? You saw the Highlands. This is the other half of the country.
What $2,985 covers
Seven days, one price, and no scrambling for reservations at nine at night in a country you have never driven in. Here is the whole ledger, including the parts that are not included.
Not included
The itinerary
Rosslyn Chapel to a Roman fort to a working single-malt distillery, with a medieval village and a tartan mill in between.
The 15th-century chapel of the intricate carvings, the Green Men and roughly nine hundred years of Grail rumors.
Ruined, beautiful, and the burial site of the heart of Robert the Bruce — the rest of him is elsewhere.
Our base in the Borders, with a gin class and optional extras from archery and axe throwing to alpaca trekking and the spa.
The world’s largest tartan mill. Watch the cloth being woven, then buy some of it, because you will.
Sir Walter Scott’s home, gardens and library — the man who more or less invented how the world pictures Scotland.
A formal evening of music and dancing, with the Address to the Haggis delivered at full volume.
Birdoswald Fort and the wall the Romans built when they decided the north was somebody else’s problem.
A full reconstructed fortified village. Living history, done properly rather than apologetically.
Two thirty-metre horse heads rising out of the canal at Falkirk. Photographs do not prepare you.
A Lowland single malt brought back from the dead after thirty years dark. Tour and tasting.
Steps off the Royal Mile, with live music at Whistlebinkies. Depart the 17th, or stay on and extend.
The pub that turns into a session. The bus singalong nobody planned. Historically, this is what people remember.
If you came with us in 2023
2023 was the Highlands — Inverness, Glasgow, and a quick look at Edinburgh on the way through. 2027 goes the other direction entirely. Same country, opposite half.
2023 — 84 travelers
2027 — 96 seats
In 2023 we showed you the Highlands. In 2027 we are taking you to the house of the man who invented them. Abbotsford — home of Sir Walter Scott
Scott wrote the novels that made the world picture Scotland in tartan, then staged George IV’s 1822 visit to Edinburgh to prove the point. The Highlands you saw in 2023 are, in a real sense, his. His house, his library and his gardens are on this itinerary.
Traveling on your own
A good share of every trip we have run has been people who came by themselves — and none of them stayed by themselves past the first breakfast. It is a bus, a guide and a band. Making friends is not optional.
The single supplement is the one genuinely annoying number on this page. So we will help you get around it.
The single supplement
$899 $0
Tick the roommate box on the form below and we will match you with another solo traveler. Share a twin room, skip the supplement entirely, and put the $899 toward whisky, tartan, or literally anything else.
Reserve your seat
Ready now? Book directly with Hammond Tours — they handle the money, the rooms and the paperwork. A non-refundable $250 deposit per person secures your seat.
Spread the word
Every trip we have run filled up largely because somebody told a friend. If you are already coming, that somebody is you.
Print the flyer for the break room, hand it round at the session, or just send this page along. Fifty-six seats is a lot of seats, and April is closer than it looks.
