•  For stunning scenery, you might take a short detour before visiting Blair Castle for a stop
                       at Queen’s View, a highly scenic point overlooking Loch Tummel.  Time permitting you
                       may want to take a walk on one of the many hiking trails in the area.

                   •  House of Bruar.  Depending on Jack’s tolerance for ladies’ shopping, you might want to
                       make a pitstop at this emporium of Scottish country clothing and much more.

                   •  Leault Working Sheepdog farm (50 min from Blair Castle):  Experience a 45-min
                       demonstration (at 4 p.m. only) where you
                       will see up to 8 dogs working as a team to
                       maneuver sheep and ducks through
                       various obstacles.  The demonstration
                       also includes an educational talk about
                       how the dogs are trained. This visit is an
                       excellent opportunity to see firsthand the
                       life of a traditional Highland shepherd.
                       Kids especially like the opportunities to
                       meet puppies, feed lambs, or shear sheep (seasonally, dependent on farm operations; cost
                       not included).


               Continue 45 min to your accommodations.

               Proposed Accommodations for 2 nights: Rocpool Reserve Hotel, a smartly-renovated,
               boutique located in a former Georgian House with stunning views over the River Ness

               Day 5: A Guided Tour of the Inverness Area. While Inverness, the principal city of Northern
               Scotland, is not particularly noteworthy, the immediate area is quite rich in history and ideal for a
               day of exploration. Sylvia will customize the day, which could include any combination of the
               below sights:
