Perhaps no land can offer more history, beauty, glory, art, and hospitality than Scotland. This small country has impacted the world powerfully through the ages, no more so than with its landscape, art, and architecture. And there is no better place to see this creative exuberance than the Borders, which features some of Scotland’s most glorious houses and gardens. Here we will have exceptional access to romantic castles, sublime palaces, private houses, world-class museums, and the Royal Yacht “Britannia.” Our base will be the Floors Castle Estate, where we’ll be staying at Schloss Roxburghe, a luxurious country house hotel noted for its warm fireplaces, locally grown fresh cuisine, and championship golf course.
