Exciting Itinerary
Things are starting to take shape as we work through logistics to determine the best possible tour experience. We are working with an experienced tour company overseas (Celtic Horizon Tours) and are in our 4th revision. Heres what we know so far Students will get to see a 6 Nations rugby game with Scotland playing France, Fulham play Newcastle in soccer, several castles such as Edinburgh, Stirling and Eilean Donan, a tour of Loch Ness, visit Glencoe, the Isle of Skye and the famous battle site and history of Culloden. They will visit the cities of Edinburgh, Perth, Stirling, Inverness, Fort William, Mallaig, Carbost and , of course, a wee bit of London. In between all this, 3 games against local school aged teams. Final touches and logistics are still being determined but all parents will get a copy of the final itinerary when complete.
