After breakfast please join your driver for a trip on the ferry over to the Isle of Arran for a visit to Brodick Castle, Garden and Country Park. Cared for by the National Trust for Scotland. Teeming with history and surrounded by mountains, Brodick is every inch the quintessential island castle.

Today we have arranged a visit to the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum. Robert Burns Birthplace Museum offers a truly unique encounter with Scotland's favourite son. Robert Burns is Scotland's National Bard, and his poetry and songs are known and loved the world over. But who was he and what made him tick? The best place to get close to Burns and his genius is his birthplace in the beautiful village of Alloway. This flagship museum starts a journey that weaves through the village, taking you from historical buildings to landmarks known to Burns. We have also added entrance to Burns Cottage. Throughout, the walls of the cottage are daubed with fragments of Burns's verse and a braw selection of Scots words, such as 'hawkie' and 'crambo-jingle.' Outside is the small cottage garden where Robert tended the crops alongside his father and brother Gilbert.

Another ferry journey awaits to the Isle of Bute, we have included a visit to Mount Stuart House and Gardens. Inside, design inspired by astrology, art and mythology dazzles. See a map of the stars on the ceiling of the Marble Hall. Take the spiral staircase to what is believed to be the world's first domestic heated swimming pool. This house is filled with innovations - from an early telephone system to our Victorian passenger lift. Set against a striking Firth of Clyde backdrop, the 300 acres of gardens boast arboricultural and horticultural collections of global significance. From spring's rhododendron and magnolia blooms to autumn's golden birch and maple trees, expect a colourful show all year round. Exotic plant life flourishes, adding an unexpected hint of the tropical, while winding woodlands stretch right down to the shore. After a coach tour around this small island you will meet the ferry for your journey back to the hotel for an evening of entertainment.

Friday 29th

We sadly say farewell to our hosts and travel back to Lincolnshire with comfort stops on the way.
