We believe the best recommendations come from experience. Last month, we had the opportunity to visit the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the King’s official residence in Edinburgh, thanks to the @royalcollectiontrust. 👑

From walking in the footsteps of Mary, Queen of Scots, to discovering how the Palace is still used for Royal engagements today, it was a fascinating glimpse into Scotland’s history. 🏰

Getting to know the places our clients are most curious about helps us craft holidays that suit you to a T. Where should we visit next?
