Hi all you bookstore contacts,

Wendy and Jack will be leading a tour to Scotland at the end of August 2007 – here is an outline of what we’re planning (if you’re interested let us know and we’ll add you to that special e-mail list for updates). If you are already on our special list please ignore this (you’re on our general list as well).You can also go to our website for a booking form:

www.scottishsongandstory.co.uk

Jack Beck and Dr Wendy Welch will lead a 12 day trip to Scotland beginning August 23^rd 2008. Of course you are free to arrive in Scotland before the tour starts or to stay afterwards; but we will rendezvous in Edinburgh Airport on the morning of August 24th. The tour will cover many parts of Scotland, including the Borders, Edinburgh, Fife, Perthshire, Galloway, the Central Highlands and Glencoe.

The cost of the tour is $2450 per person, based on double occupancy. This price covers all transport and hotels in Scotland, all breakfasts and dinners, entertainment and entry to most historical sites. It does not cover lunches, tips, single room supplement ($400) or airfare. Direct overnight flights into Edinburgh are available on Delta Airlines (from Atlanta) and Continental (from Newark); while several other companies have flights via London, Amsterdam etc. If you plan to use frequent-flyer miles towards buying your ticket, please book very early as only a few spots are allocated for such programs.

The basic aim of the tour is to give people the chance to enjoy and learn about Scotland through experiencing its traditional culture and landscape. You will meet and hear performers on their home ground, visit the contexts from which the tales, songs and music have come, and have the chance to enjoy occasional hikes in both the Lowlands and the Highlands. This is not particularly a search for the Scotland of Brigadoon, Braveheart and the Loch Ness Monster (though you never know!) - rather it is a unique opportunity to learn about the music, people, history and landscape of this amazingly varied country in an interesting, personal and entertaining way.

The tentative itinerary for the trip includes 2 nights in Peebles, 2 in Edinburgh,

2 in Birnam/Dunkeld, 2 in Galloway and 2 in Fife (more to be decided). There will be free days in Edinburgh, Dunkeld and Glencoe, where hiking will be possible, with other activities for non-hikers. Some of the performers and experts you will meet and hear include fiddler Pete Clark, singer/storyteller Jock Duncan, Pictish stones expert Marianna Lines and singer Colin Stuart.

Throughout the tour Jack and Wendy will be informing, singing and telling stories assisted by professional tour guide Charles Hunter.
