The South of Scotland has so much to offer and we are certain that our Scotland in a Snapshot tour will give you a true and full flavour of Scotland in miniature – not to mention an abundance of fantastic photo opportunities along the way.
The beautiful and evocative triangular shaped Caerlaverock Castle was one of Scotland’s strongest Medieval Castles. Today it is its stunning beauty and fantastic double moat structure that brings visitors from across the world to this incredible site.

Gretna Green is a village in the south of Scotland famous for runaway weddings. It is in Dumfries and Galloway, near the mouth of the River Esk and was historically the first village in Scotland, following the old coaching route from London to Edinburgh. Today Gretna Green is one of the world's most popular wedding destinations, hosting over 5,000 weddings each year and one of every six Scottish weddings.
Gretna GreenMark and Lesley are both former history teachers who are from the area and it really reflected in the tour - they are an eager wealth of knowledge and lovely people. I wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone wanting a tour in Scotland.
