Our brochure is full of new ideas with a great selection of destinations and 

hotels along with more themed events than ever before. We know how 

important value for money is and with this in mind we have searched for 

the best deals offering the best prices. 

You will find all your usual favourites, but, we have 

also listened carefully to all the comments we have 

received about what it is you would like to see in 

this new brochure. You will see the welcome return 

of Warner Holidays and Jersey by Air and some new 

Scottish breaks. So whether you’re dreaming of 

Scottish castles, cruising the seas or a girlie weekend 

away there is something for everyone in our new 

2011 brochure. So get yourselves comfy and take 

your time in choosing where we at Harding Holidays 

can take you too. 

If you are a group of you of 30 people or more 

and you can find nothing in this brochure quite 

matches your needs we can tailor-make your 

holiday to suit your individual requirements. We 

can arrange a hotel, excursions and tickets for the 

theatre or anything else you require. You will get 

your own pick up point and generous discounts. If 

you are a smaller group of 10 or more joining one 

of our existing tours we can still offer a discount.

variety of landscapes and diverse cultures to explore. We have a great selection 

of scenic and coastal breaks this year, with some old favourites such as the 

Edinburgh Tattoo along with new destinations such as our Malts and Monsters 

Tour! 

Ayrshire & Arran 

Singles Galore 

Situated on the beautiful Clyde 

Coast, Ayrshire & Arran has it all 

and more. Beautiful scenery, 

fascinating history, outdoor 

activities, ancient castles, stunning 

country parks and gardens, bustling 

market towns and captivating 

visitor attractions are all on offer. 

We have 3 wonderful excursions for 

you during your stay: 

DAY EXCURSIONS 

We have a full day trip to the capital, 

Edinburgh. Time to explore the sights 

and sounds of this fascinating city, it’s 

not all about bagpipes, shortbread, 

whisky and tartan. In fact, the city is 

one of the most vibrant, cosmopolitan 

cities in Europe and is regularly voted as one of the most desirable places to live in the world. 

Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. Loch Lomond has long been immortalised in lyric verse 

and song. The single biggest expanse of inland water in the British Isles, Loch Lomond brings together two 

very different Scotland’s. Broad, island-dotted shallows in the south gradually narrowing and steepening 

into the mountains of the aptly named Arrochar Alps dominated by the Cobbler in the West and mighty 

Ben Lomond to the East, The Trossachs with its wild glens and sparkling lochs. 

We head up the coast to Adrossan and the short ferry crossing to Brodick on the beautiful Isle of 

Arran. Arran is one of the most accessible of the Scottish islands and one of the most southerly. The line 

between the Highlands and Lowlands of Scotland divides the island almost exactly in two and Arran 

mirrors the differing landscapes of the country more widely, forming a “Scotland in miniature”. The north 

is ruggedly mountainous and sparsely populated, with the south softer in landscape and home to the 

majority of the 4,500 people who live there.

Malts & Monsters 

On this tour we have magnificent malt whisky, 

scenery viewed by our majestic monarch and 

many more before, and of course the 

“mythical” monster. Deep in the Highlands of 

Scotland you’ll find Strathspey, with Nethy 

Bridge set in its very heart between Aviemore 

and Grantown. With the majestic backdrop of 

the often-snowcapped Cairngorm Mountains, 

the salmon-filled River Spey, and acres of 

Abernethy Forest, you’ll find Nethy Bridge the 

perfect setting for your Scottish Highland 

holiday. 

DAY EXCURSIONS 

A trip to Loch Ness with a lovely relaxing cruise on 

the Loch to Urquhart Castle. A cruise on the 

mysterious and beautiful Loch Ness is one of the 

best ways to enjoy some of the highlands’ 

stunning scenery. At 23 miles long, a mile wide and 

more than 750 feet deep, Loch Ness contains 

enough water to fill every lake, river and reservoir 

in England. This, together with the legendary 

sightings of something rather monstrous, has 

made the loch one of the most famous stretches 

Britannia Mystery Break 

From £179 

Don’t mind where you go as long as you have 

great food, comfy hotel and free day trips! Well 

this is the break for you. Our destination will

of water in the world. Will you spot Nessie? After 

your cruise we make a stop at the visitor centre 

where you can find out more of the myths and 

legends that surround this vast stretch of water. 

Whisky is on the agenda today with a visit to 

the Tomatin Distillery home of the finest Highland 

Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Located in the 

Monadhliath Mountains just south of Inverness, 

capital of the Highlands of Scotland. Established in 

1897, Tomatin (to rhyme with satin) is also one of 

the highest distilleries in Scotland at 315 metres 

above sea level. The soft waters of the Alt-na-Frith 

(Free Burn) which run clear and pure through the 

Monadhliath Mountains help to create a Highland 

Malt with delicate flavours, yet a rich and mellow 

style. Its undoubted quality and consistency make 

for a truly fine dram. A proud testimony to the art 

of distilling. 

A beautifully scenic tour of Royal Deeside 

taking in Braemar, Crathie and Balmoral. The parish 

of Braemar and Crathie has been a playground of 

kings, nobles and the great ones of the land since 

the dawn of Scottish history. Over a hundred years 

ago Queen Victoria chose Deeside as her holiday 

centre, and successive generations of the Royal 

Family have followed her example.
