Edinburgh, Scotland
Why Scotland is Calling Your Name
Plans for New Year’s yet? No country has as much fun with it as Scotland, which is famous for its year-end Hogmanay celebrations. Head outside with the locals in Edinburgh, Inverness, Aberdeen, and towns and cities throughout the country to celebrate with torchlight processions, bonfires, pipes and drum performances, and street theatre as you raise a glass to centuries-old winter fire rituals.

Glenapp Castle
Any time of the year, however, visitors can book a “sea safari” just an hour outside of Glasgow. Spend a few nights exploring the Scottish Baronial grandeur of Glenapp Castle on the coast in Ayrshire before heading out in a small-ship, private vessel. The castle, built in 1870, is known for its magnificent gardens and Relais & Chateaux hospitality.

Glenapp Castle - Hebridian Sea Safari
But one of its signature experiences is a private Hebridian sea safari, which takes guests on overnight adventures into the channels, lochs and coastlines to bring them closer to seal colonies, puffin rookeries and to watch gannets plunging into the sea, amongst other sea and bird life. A marine biologist joins the small-boat adventure, and history experts share the lore of the remote towns, barren white beaches and hidden castles you’ll come across on this unforgettable adventure.
