Participants will follow in Mary’s footsteps in Scotland visiting places such as Oban, Fort William, Fort Augustus, Isle of Iona, Loch Ness, Stirling Castle and Edinburgh.

From there the tour will follow Mary’s route, travelling on to Oban and Fort William (the Birthplace of her mother Flora MacDonald).
A particular highlight will be a meeting with her closest and oldest living relative Ronnie Campbell at Roy Bridge and a special Mass in the local St Margaret’s Church given by another relative Bishop Joseph Toal.
