Arrive in Scotland’s stunning capital, Edinburgh. It is a city steeped in history, culture and breathtaking scenery. Meet your host, and Global Next’s founder, Dr. Johnson, at the airport. You’ll transfer to your hotel, right on the Royal Mile and start getting settled.

After dinner, you’ll enjoy a much-earned night’s sleep.
Day 3
After breakfast at our hotel, you’ll head over to the Edinburgh Training Centre to begin the first session of our class, “Jump Your Shadow.” Then it’s off to visit the Edinburgh Castle and maybe some tea and scones! Perched atop Castle Rock, this iconic fortress dominates the city skyline. Dating back to the 12th century, it houses the Scottish Crown Jewels, the Stone of Destiny and the National War Museum.
Enjoy your free time before dinner this evening. And yes, you’ll have time for kilt shopping!

Following breakfast, we will continue our conference at the Edinburgh Training Centre. After class, we’ll take a brief break for lunch before taking a challenging hike up to the top of Arthur’s Seat – the ancient volcano, located in Holyrood Park, offers a 360 degree panoramic view of Edinburg.
Then we’ll come back down and visit the stunning Palace of Holyroodhouse, the official residence of the British monarch in Scotland. It is rich in royal history, from Mary, Queen of Scots, to modern day events.
Day 5
Today is our roadtrip day! We’ll head up North to Loch Ness and if you’re sharp-eyed enough, you might even spot Nessie. We’ll also enjoy the varied landscape, the beautiful hills, the lakes, the castles and the iconic highland cows of North Scotland.
