Islands on the Edge - UK, Eire & Scotland

May 2 – 15, 2012
14 Days/ 13 Nights

Trip Code: PS102-11

From the south of England to the islands surrounding Scotland – this is a journey of cultural and natural history delights. The many opportunities to see large numbers of gannet, fulmar, kittiwake, cormorant, guillemot and puffin will delight the avid birder. Almost daily are new archaeological experiences from carns to brochs and blackhouses. Although surrounding a very populated and civilized island nation, the rugged coast was historically a challenge for man and nature alike to eke out an existence and shows the adaptability of both man and nature. Celebrate spring in these lush green isles.
