Description
Scotland's festive traditions and customs stretch back thousands of years. The Scots' love of traditions is just as strong as their love of food and drink. Combine the two and you have a seriously good celebration. This tour is full of Scottish celebrations starting with Christmas Eve through to Hogmanay! An opportunity for some last minute shopping in Glasgow, see some of Loch Lomond's stately homes and castles along the shoreline on a circular cruise and the opportunity to visit Stirling the wee city with a big history, punching well above its weight for historic attractions! Open Bar each evening (selected brands only)

Departure points to suit you...
Crusader Holidays uses an interchange system, taking place at either Beaconsfield Services (M40), South Mimms Services (M25/A1M) or Thurrock Services (M25).

Here you may have to change to your holiday coach and we are renowned for ensuring that this is smooth and efficient.

The holiday coaches typically depart from Beaconsfield Services at 11.15, Thurrock Services at around 09.30 and South Mimms Services at 10.30. Some customers find it more convenient to join direct at the interchange, please let is know when booking if this is the case.

*Due to increased operational costs, from Monday 16th October 2023 Dover, Folkestone, Canterbury & Ashford joining points will be subject to a £25.00 per person supplement on all 2024 UK Tours.

NOTE: Pick up points are a guide so please refer to your holiday confirmation for specific locations as details are subject to change.
