The Little Chapel is one of Guernsey’s most loved landmarks, renowned around the world. It remains a highly popular tourist destination due to its whimsy and wonder. The details and dedication are hard to describe.
You must see it to believe it!

Known simply as ‘Town’, St Peter Port Is situated on the east coast of Guernsey Island. Standing guard in the harbor, you will find 800 year old Castle Cornet. Offering an insight into island history with four museums and several historic gardens, as well as panoramic views, it is well worth the short walk from town center.

Travel a bit further to visit the whimsical Little Chapel.
Truly a work of art and labor of love!
Built by Brother Déodat, who started work in March 1914. His plan was to create a miniature version of the famous grotto and basilica at Lourdes in France.

We enjoyed beautiful bright skies in Guernsey and soaked in every moment of port time before heading back to our ship by tender boat.

Highland Coos are inherently Scottish; hardy, forceful, bonnie, can be found in Scotland, and are often, although not always, ginger. There’s nae shortage of a Heilan Coo up here in the Highlands, but how much do you really know about this horned beast?

Globus Bonnie Scotland
Stonehaven Visit & Dunnottar Castle
The rugged beauty of Scotland’s east coast awaits on this guided excursion into the heart of Aberdeenshire.
First, travel south to Dunnottar, one of Scotland’s most iconic medieval castles. Perched dramatically on a clifftop overlooking the North Sea, the evocative site has been home to impenetrable fortresses since the Early Middle Ages and presents epic photo opportunities. Learn about the castle’s ties to William Wallace, the Scottish Crown Jewels, and the Jacobite rebellion. Then, on to the nearby fishing village of Stonehaven to visit its fascinating museum. This former storehouse, courthouse, and prison now houses items that chronicle the town’s long history. Before your return to Aberdeen, enjoy a pint of beer or a soft drink at The Ship Inn, one of the area’s oldest inns!
