Autumn Tour. 1 -
This year’s tour is to Rome’s North-West frontier, the Antonine Wall. This is to mark the decision on whether the Wall should become a World Heritage Site, which will be taken in July. If successful, the Wall will join Hadrian’s Wall and the German Limes as part of the frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site. The tour will be led by Professor David Breeze, who prepared the nomination of the Antonine Wall as a World Heritage site, and will cost £275 per person, with a single-room supplement of £50. The cost includes luxury coach travel, two nights’ dinner, bed and breakfast at the four-star Airth Castle Hotel (use of leisure facilities included), three light lunches, a pre-dinner drink each night, and all entrances. PIP Consulting will also make a contribution to Historic Scotland for every booking made.
