Join me as I share highlights from my recent journey through London and Scotland—a journey full of luxury, history, and discovery, carefully curated to inspire your next adventure with Exploring With Erin.

Recently, I embarked on a journey that perfectly blended luxury, history, and discovery—one that I was thrilled to plan with the same care and passion I offer my clients at Exploring With Erin. From the refined elegance of The Montague on the Gardens in London to the literary magic of Edinburgh, every moment was crafted to delight.

London: Elegance and Service at The Montague on the Gardens

In London, I stayed at The Montague on the Gardens, a Signature Hotel that offered exceptional service and a cozy, elegant atmosphere. It was the perfect base for exploring the city. I visited the Tower of London, cruised along the Thames with champagne in hand, and enjoyed a classic afternoon tea at Fortnum & Mason. Tea at Fortnum & Mason is more than a meal, it’s a quintessential British ritual! Dinner in a cozy pub capped off each day, offering a taste of true British charm.

First-Class Train to Edinburgh

I boarded a First-Class train to Edinburgh, which took me through the scenic English countryside and along the Scottish coast. The comfort of the train made the journey even more enjoyable, setting the stage for what was to come.

Edinburgh: Harry Potter, History, and Literary Treasures

In Edinburgh, the city’s rich history and literary connections captivated me. Walking the Royal Mile, I was reminded of J.K. Rowling’s inspiration for Harry Potter, with hidden alleys and iconic sites. The Scottish Literary Museum, filled with the works of literary giants like Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott, was a highlight. Exploring the city’s historic cemeteries and vibrant streets gave me a deeper understanding of Edinburgh’s fascinating past.

Until Next Time

This trip was a perfect blend of culture, history, and luxury. There’s so much more to see, and I’m already planning my return. From London’s timeless charm to Edinburgh’s enchanting streets, this trip reaffirmed why bespoke travel planning creates unforgettable experiences.

Until next time, London and Scotland, you’ve truly captured my heart!
