The teak promenade of EXPLORA I becomesyour stylish catwalk as you journey to where men weal kilts and women mash the best scotch whisky. Walk in the footsteps of saints and ancient kings. Cross paths with artists and poets who protest there "may be dragons". Edinburgh is enigmatic with come-hither nooks and the jaw-dropping global performance of the Military Tattoo set before the light-washed Castle. Hadrian's Wall and the Angel of the North draw us to Newcastle. Are there mightier men than those in the Highlands of Invergordon who still look upon quiet glens filled with history of past carnage? Nip Ireland's whisky at the Silabh Liag Distillery or cycle past the Troubles in Derry across the Peace Bridge. Sing of Yellow Submarines in Liverpool then go in search of kingdoms of the sylvan and sublime in Glasgow and beyond.
