From the Victorian grandeur of Belfast and of more interest to us here… it’s the birthplace of the World’s most famous ship Titanic to the Irish capital city Dublin with historic historical buildings, elegant Georgian houses and of course the magnificence of the world famous Trinity college.
Ireland is a land apart. Almost impossibly romantic, its criss-crossed with fuchsia – filled hedges and ringed by towering sea cliffs.
Ireland boasts the finest pubs in the world… venue for pure fun, singing and of course drinking. The Irish say and so say many, that their Bush mills whisky is the best in the world! And for records, it’s the oldest whisky brand in the world.
And for the Golfer, an absolute paradise… 4 of the world’s top 20 golf courses and located in Ireland.

Loch Ness
Loch Ness is probably the best-known Scottish loch, thanks to its famous resident – Nessie, the exceedingly friendly, though unfortunately extremely elusive, Loch Ness monster. You can find out all about her at two dedicated visitor centres in Drumnadrochit if you wish. We take you on a boat trip on the loch to get a closer look, or scan the waves from the ruins of picture-postcard Castel Urqchart. Do say hello if you see her. Castel Urquhart was blown up in 1692 to prevent it falling into Jacobite hands; what’s left is a classic romantic ruin jutting out into the loch. Loch Ness is 23 miles long and very, very deep – there’s plenty of room for a monster.DAY 09: INVERNESS – FORT WILLIAM
