This morning you will arrive into Edinburgh Airport where you will be met by a representative of Sandgrouse Travel & Expeditions in the arrivals terminal. They will make sure you have all your luggage before directing you the short walk towards your luxury Land Rover Discovery 5 vehicles which will be waiting for you outside. After a short demonstration on how to operate the vehicles, you will be following the built-in GPS units north towards the Perthshire Highlands, where we believe the real Scotland starts! 

Your destination today is Gleneagles Hotel which is not more than an hour north of Edinburgh. Here you will be able to check-in to your luxury rooms before heading for an afternoon of exciting activities on-site. We have arranged for you after your lunch a 1-hour falconry display at The British School of Falconry. The school itself is home to some incredible birds of prey, you will be able to hold and fly eagles, hawks and falcons and learn about how these birds are used in conjunction with dogs to hunt prey with their handlers on Gleneagles estate land. 

After your fantastic experience with the birds, it will be time to move on to the shooting school. Here we have arranged for you a 90-minute shooting session where you will be able to shoot simulated game birds and fast moving haggis! Your instructors will talk you through all you need to know should you not be familiar with a shotgun. Allow your competitive streaks to have a flurry as you try to out shoot your friends on the range! 

This evening you will be able to make the most of the on-site leisure fascilities at Gleneagles, before joining together again for dinner booked in the brilliant Strathearn Restaurant. 

Accommodation: x5 Classic Rooms on Bed & Breakfast basis. 

This morning is an early start for a 7am, full Scottish cooked breakfast. After perhaps your first experience of world famous Haggis with some poached eggs, it will be time to leave for Dunkeld. Today you are heading off on a wonderful off-roading adventure with the Land Rover Experience Centre. You will enjoy a morning of on-site tuition putting the vehicles through their paces on rutted tracks, through woodland and forest and across water features all with the guidence of expert driving tutors. We have arranged three cars for you to use, and with rotation each of you will be able to enjoy these fantastic group experience surrounded by Scottish scenery. 

Lunch will be taken today at the off-road centre's main buildling before you head out for an afternoon following challenging estate tracks high on the mountain tops. The tracks will take you to 2,500ft and even 3,000 above sea-level so there will be a high chance of snow drifts and incredible views as well as some technical driving. Your guides will provide the three vehicles with 2-way radios so you can keep in touch with one another before decending for around 4pm. 

Should you wish, before heading back to Gleneagles, you will be able to visit 'the home of country clothing', The House of Bruar. This is a luxury shopping complex that sells everything from local produce to luxury tweed and tartan. This is the perfect place to pick up a souvenir from your trip for your family back home!

On returning to Gleneagles, you will have time to recharge and freshen up before dinner at 7pm in the Michelin Starred Andrew Fairlie Restaurant, renowned throughout Scotland as one of the top places to eat this will be a culinary treat for the whole group. We have arranged for you to enjoy the 5-course menu which should take between two to three hours. 

After dinner you will be heading to a private whisky tasting experience in a room within the hotel with whisky legend Charles Maclean. Charles has written around 11-books on whisky and is widely regarding as one of the industry's leading experts. He will be able to provide you with a whisky tasting experience like no other, allowing you to fully appreciate the subtleties of the whiskies and their regions. 

Today is your final day in Scotland on this short but sharp trip! You will be able to savour a final Scottish breakfast in the wonderful breakfast rooms at Gleneagles Hotel before jumping in the Land Rovers and heading in convoy with your guide further into the hills once more. You will drive about 30-minutes into the Perthshire hills, before driving down a private estate track to park up. Your guide will issue you each with Zeiss optics to use incase you see any fantastic wild or birdlife which abounds in this area includin Red deer, Sea Eagles, Golden eagles, Red grouse, Black grouse and many more species. 

Today's walk is not too ambitious, due to the fact that this is your last day in Scotland and of course the snow conditions likely on the higher peaks in the area. We will be attempting to climb a local Corbett (mountain over 2,500ft) with the added enjoyment of a mountain top coffee/picnic stop that has been pre-arranged for the group by prior consent with the land owner. With some luck we will be able to see some great wildlife, experience the Scottish hills at their best affording you some fantastic views and fresh air. 

Once the walk is over, you will have the 1-hour drive back to Edinburgh where you will drop off your vehicles at Edinburgh Airport before checking in for your return flights home. 

We hope that you have enjoyed visiting Scotland and thank you for travelling with Sandgrouse Travel & Expeditions who have enjoyed hosting you.
