Get a ride to dancing and bagpipe bands of the Royal Braemer Highland Gathering with this scenic trip into the Scottish country. See the Forth road and rail bridges and the magnificent slopes of Glenshee on your way to the remarkable revels for a look at a piece of Scotland's history.

After being picked up from your hotel, leave Edinburgh across the magnificent Forth Road Bridge and head through Perthshire, known as the Heart of Scotland. Your route takes you to Glenshee, the skiing capital of Scotland, where you can catch a glimpse of wild deer or pheasant before heading down to the Royal Deeside.

Braemar has hosted gatherings of one kind or another since the days of King Malcolm Canmore, more than 900 years ago. Each year, crowds gather to join festivities fit for the Queen herself, with international athletes in track and dancing events or soldiers competing in the Inter-Services Unit Tug of War and the Services Medley Relay Race, not to mention pipe bands playing their hearts out with the customary Massed Pipe Bands and an array of traditional meals, snacks, and refreshments.
