After lunch we enjoy a matinee performance at the Pitlochry Festival. We then depart Pitlochry for Inverness. En route to Inverness we visit Blair Castle . This rambling turreted castle has been altered and extended so often in its 700-year history that it now provides a unique insight into the history of Highland aristocratic life. We continue north through the Grampian Mountains , passing through Aviemore before arriving Inverness for our early evening check-in at the Golfview Hotel overlooking Moray Firth in Nairn.
Dinner is at our hotel.
After breakfast this morning, our first visit of the day is Cawdor Castle , one of the most romantic stately homes in the Highlands. Famous for being the 11th century home of Shakespeare's Macbeth , Thane of Cawdor, the house is a treasury of family history where the present-day family has lived continuously for over 600 years. Lunch is on your own. This theatre has become one of the few theatres in Britain which is truly indispensable. It has gained a formidable reputation for staging classical theatre, dance and opera productions as well as attracting popular artists and music groups.
