Day to Day Itineraries

Scotland Artist Retreat

June 16 - June 23rd, 2023

(Optional) Edinburg Post Trip

June 23 - June 25th, 2023

WANT TO EXTEND YOUR TRIP AT THE MARKET PLACE HOTEL EVEN FURTHER? JUST LET ME KNOW AND WE WILL ADD ANOTHER DAY OR TWO.

Take a look at the Scotland Retreat & optional Edinburgh Post Trip Itineraries from our wonderful 2022 trip below and see details of the day to day painting demonstrations, excursions, painting locations, and more.

The 2023 Itineraries will be similar to the 2022 Itineraries below.

**Please note, itinerary subject to change due circumstances beyond our control: Covid-19, weather, location closures, or cancellations. Parking is limited at the Laird’s Wing of the Castle to only a few cars, only 5. We have two Brodie Studio Vans that we will be using for transportation to and from the castle that will be parked there. If you feel you must have a car at the castle, please let us know.

NO SMOKING or VAPING ALLOWED AT ALL!

MEALS:

All catered meals held at the castle are provided as are self-catered lunch items, continental breakfast items and snacks. Meals eaten during our outings, at restaurants-off the castle premises, are NOT provided.

STAYING IN & OTHER INFO ON MEALS:

All activities prepared for you are optional, and you have the choice of just creating, relaxing at the castle, and exploring on your own. While we stock the kitchen with a variety of snacks and basic food items, such as sandwich items, chips, condiments, fruit, yogurt, muffins, coffee, tea, juice, etc., you may want to partake in eating lunch at the two nearby restaurants and pubs within walking distance from the castle. Olde Mill Pub is EXCELLENT and a 15 minute walk away…so is Brodie Country Fare. Award winning food. A bus stops at the entrance of the castle, also, that can take you into local towns and back. Many restaurants deliver to the castle as well. Do let us know in advance if you are NOT traveling out to lunch or dinner with us. See bus schedule and taxi info here.

Edinburgh Post Trip

(Optional)

Extend Your Scotland Experience!

Our additional overnight experience in Edinburgh is also available to you. Extend your artist retreat and stay for two glorious nights at the 5 star Market Street Hotel in historical Edinburg, Scotland. A modern take on Baronial materiality and composition provides the inspiration behind the guest rooms at this stunning hotel. Also explore the rooftop champagne lounge and bar, the Norloft.

You’ll find Edinburgh Castle and the famous Royal Mile in the Old Town only a short stroll away. Cross the Waverley Valley to find St Andrew Square, the city’s gastro hub and experience the elegant New Town which boasts magnificent Georgian architecture, complete with boutique shops and artisan cafes, only a stone’s throw away. Even more outstanding, is that Edinburgh’s Fruitmarket Gallery is across the street, and the City Art Centre, is right next door to Market Street Hotel. The train station is just a few feet away as are bus stops, which makes transportation anywhere in or out of the city a breeze.
