What a wonderful time of year to visit Scotland; sit back and admire the breathtaking colours of autumn, a dazzling profusion of warm reds and golds, on our three fabulous excursions, which radiate from our popular four star hotel. Our tour includes a day on the fascinating Isle of Arran “Scotland in Miniature”, where we enjoy a guided coach tour of the island. In addition, we travel alongside stunning Loch Lomond, through the beautiful Argyll Forest Park to the white painted town of Inveraray, with its majestic castle and lochside setting, before returning to our hotel, via ferry, from the coastal resort of Dunoon. Our day of Scottish heritage, takes us to two award-winning attractions, historic New Lanark Mill, a World Heritage Site in a spectacular gorge setting, and Glasgow’s outstanding Riverside Museum, situated on the Quay and alongside the majestic 19th century Tall Ship, Glen Lee. A tour not to be missed.
Be assured of a warm welcome from the 4* Riverside Lodge Hotel, situated on the outskirts of the town of Irvine, on the Ayrshire coast, one of Scotland’s most beautiful areas. The hotel offers a superb range of facilities, comfortable, modern en-suite bedrooms, a contemporary Brasserie restaurant and a spacious lounge. There is no lift; however, there are many ground floor rooms, including one equipped for the disabled.
