Dumfries House and the Da Vinci Code

Enjoy an Elite Door to Door Holiday to Dumfries

The Tinto is a charming three-star rural hotel on the outskirts of Symington village, near Peebles. Serving as an excellent base for exploring Ayrshire, Edinburgh, Loch Lomond, and the Borders. Our first stop is the 15th-century Rosslyn Chapel, a truly captivating and unique structure that withstood the turbulent times of the Reformation. It is one of the world's most famous chapels, immortalized in Dan Brown's film "The Da Vinci Code," starring Tom Hanks, and is surrounded by "Holy Grail" myths and legends. Highlights include visits to Dumfries House, the renowned Palladian property rescued from closure by King Charles, leisure time on the picturesque shores of Loch Lomond, and sightseeing in Scotland's capital city.
