Inclusions |
Join Hebridean Princess on her final voyage of the season and explore some hidden gems of the Firth of Clyde. Explore hidden islands and mainland delights on this short break of enticing variety. Cosseted in comfort, enjoy a house party atmosphere and celebrate the close of another rewarding season.
Set in five hundred acres of ancient woodland and mature, renowned gardens overlooking the Clyde, visit Finlaystone House, home to the MacMillan family who are on hand to extend a warm welcome. We arrive at the Victorian resort of Rothesay, for an island tour of Bute. Bute is crossed by the Highland Boundary Fault resulting in an island of contrasting landscapes; bare and craggy in the north, lower, undulating and fertile in the south.
Venturing ashore at Largs, travel to Hunterston Castle, seat of the Clan Hunter. The 13th century tower house was replaced in 1799 by Hunterston House. Stepping ashore on the Isle of Arran, explore the formal gardens and woodland country park at Brodick Castle. The walled garden provides a sheltered site in which to grow plants that are rarely seen growing outdoors in Scotland. Built in 1710, it`s the oldest part of the gardens and has stunning views over Brodick Bay. Rough and rocky Little Cumbrae was maintained as a royal hunting forest. Explore on foot to discover the ruins of a castle demolished by Oliver Cromwell’s army in 1650 and a small chapel dedicated to St Beya. On the shores of Holy Loch, your final port of call is the 19th century Kilmun church, adorned with magnificent stained glass windows by Stephen Adam.
