Scotland in a Snapshot brings a unique experience that celebrates the best of what Scotland has to offer in just one day. 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.

The stunning Views as you descend into the valley which contains the Reservoir is quite breathtaking and considered one of the best views anywhere in Scotland. Talla Reservoir, located a mile from Tweedsmuir, Scottish Borders, Scotland, is an earth-work dam fed by Talla Water. It was opened in 1899
Talla ReservoirThe Grey Mare’s Tail Nature reserve is best known for its magnificent waterfall – the fifth highest in the UK – and uniquely dramatic scenery. The tumbling waters from Loch Skeen high above cascade down the ancient rocks as the features of this incredible hanging valley gradually unfold.

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 GreenYou managed to pack so much into the day (without it feeling crammed or us rushed) and nothing was a problem for you. What value for money, I'd certainly recommend you to anyone and even consider another trip because there's so much to see in this beautiful region. Thank you both for some wonderful memories.

Celebrating an inspiring local female on International Women's Day!
At Solway Tours we believe that there are many inspirational women many of whom are from this Region that we should always remember and we will share just one of them with you.
Maggie Jencks is the inspirational woman behind the Maggie's Cancer Care centres that provide invaluable social and emotional support to those with cancer, and their family.
Maggie herself having been diagnosed with breast cancer in 1988 took a very active role in her own treatment. She believed that there was no one place or person that people with cancer could turn to and after visiting America and battling through her own treatment for cancer she started to put together her ideas to create welcoming places close to hospitals where people with cancer could get support.
This haven would be somewhere people could go for a cup of tea, for information related to their treatment or to support groups led by professionals.
Maggie died in 1995 one year before the first Maggie's Centre had opened but she had done all the necessary groundwork for this haven to be built.
The cancer care centre she imagined and planned now thrives in the grounds of the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh and many other centres have now opened up across the UK.
