This tour will take you to discover the cities of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee.

Children as well as their parents will love the V&A designed by Kengo Kuma but also the New Lanark Unesco Heritage Site with its Annie Experience! Obviously, in each city you will also have the opportunity to taste typical products and buy quality souvenirs strictly Made in Scotland. Federica, one of the directors of our agency, absolutely loves Art and Architecture and is therefore the perfect guide and consultant for this tour. With her advice and knowledge you will discover a Scotland whose architecture, between contrasts and fusion of styles and construction techniques, describes a country with a complicate past and an incredibly dynamic present!
