Description
Head south from Glasgow on a private day trip. See the anvil where runaway couples married at Gretna Green, explore moated Caerlaverock Castle and visit Sweetheart Abbey.
Spend a day exploring the south of Scotland, in a private Mercedes with your own professional driver. Your driver collects you from your hotel or address in Glasgow city centre and heads south towards the border with England.
Your first stop is Gretna Green, the first village over the border, where runaway couples from England have married since 1754. Visit the Famous Blacksmiths Shop, see the anvil where thousands of weddings took place, and browse the museum and shops.
Next, follow the Solway coast to Caerlaverock Castle, a moated castle with a triangular shape unlike any other in Britain. Cross the bridge over the moat, explore the ruins at your own pace, and walk the nature trail through the woods to the site of the older castle.
In the afternoon, drive to the village of New Abbey to see Sweetheart Abbey, a red sandstone ruin founded by Lady Dervorgilla in memory of her husband. She kept his embalmed heart with her for 21 years, and was buried with it here. Stop for lunch in the village before your driver takes you back to Glasgow.
This is a private tour for your group only, in a Mercedes V-Class with room for up to 6 passengers. Relax in heated, reclining leather captain's chairs under a panoramic sunroof, with free Wi-Fi, phone charging and an onboard TV with Netflix, PlayStation and iPad. Chilled water, Irn-Bru and Scottish shortbread are on board, and you get a live tracking link for your car on the day. Your driver is not a tour guide, but knows the route well and can adjust the timings to suit your group. Entry tickets are not included.
