Price: $1995 per person.

The first annual Celtic Folk Scotland Tour will take place between September 5^th and September 13^th and will be based in the county of Angus in the northeast of Scotland. This personal, guided tour of the “Birthplace of Scotland” will be a trip that encompasses the essence of a country steeped in 6000 years of history and culture.

Angus is said to be the birthplace of Scotland. Its claim to this title comes from both the battle of Dunnichen (formerly known as Nechtansmere), where, in 685AD, the Picts defeated the Northumbrian army - the first time a united army from the land we now know as Scotland came together against a common enemy - and the Declaration of Arbroath, signed by Scottish nobles at Arbroath Abbey in April of 1320 and sent to the Pope, declaring Scotland a free and independent nation.

Angus is steeped history, ranging from pre-historic fortresses and standing stones to medieval castles and manor houses. The everyday working people are represented too with museums describing the life and toils of local farmers and fishermen.

The countryside includes the beautiful coastal towns and villages such as Broughty Ferry, Arbroath, Auchmithie and Montrose to the picturesque farming and market towns of Brechin, Edzell, Kirriemuir and Forfar, to the city of Dundee – home of Jute, Jam and Journalism.

Our time in Angus will have us tasting the delights of all facets of this part of Scotland. We’ll see the historic sites, taste the local fare and enjoy live traditional music along the way; all guided by someone who knows the area and can give particular insight to its people and places. We will, of course, visit the nation’s capital on our final full day.

Don’t forget, this is a small group tour that has a limited number of places available. You need to secure your spot on the Tour as quickly as possible.

Complete instructions on payment details are included in the pdf file, along with the Itinerary, additional notes, pictures, tips and a whole lot more.
