A Literary Voyage Through Scotland
Our bespoke itineraries are crafted for those eager to engage deeply with Scotland’s literary heritage:
Robert Burns’ Ayrshire: Start your journey in Alloway, the birthplace of Scotland’s national poet. Visit Burns Cottage, the Burns Monument, and enjoy an evening at the Globe Inn, where Burns was a regular patron.
Sir Walter Scott’s Borders: Discover Abbotsford, Scott’s own creation, and the picturesque Borders landscapes that fueled his historical novels. Don’t miss Scott’s View, one of Scotland’s most celebrated vistas.
Robert Louis Stevenson’s Edinburgh: Wander through the city that shaped Stevenson, visiting the Writers’ Museum and exploring locales that inspired “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” and “Treasure Island.”
The Outer Hebrides: Experience the remote beauty of the islands where poets like Sorley MacLean and Iain Crichton Smith drew inspiration, capturing the spirit of the Gaelic language in their work.
Glasgow’s Literary Scene: Delve into the city’s rich literary culture, tracing the steps of contemporary authors like Alasdair Gray and locations from novels like “Lanark” and “Sunset Song” by Lewis Grassic Gibbon.
