SUMMARY:Roman Britain: Romans at the Edge of Empire
DESCRIPTION:Follow in the footsteps of the ancient Romans in Britain as you venture north from Chester\, England\, to Edinburgh\, Scotland\, with a foray along Hadrian’s Wall\, which was famously constructed ca. A.D. 122 along the northwest frontier of the Roman Empire. Experience a world at the edge of the Empire and amidst the natural beauty of old medieval towns\, verdant countryside\, and the scenic Lake District\, discovering for yourself the remains of formerly vibrant Roman forts and towns\, museum collections of fascinating Roman artifacts\, and Rome’s influence on the Britain of today. \nHighlights:\n•Visit two sites that comprise the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Frontiers of the Roman Empire”: Vindolanda\, not only one of Europe’s most important Roman sites but also where your AIA lecturer/host has been doing fieldwork since 2002; and Arbeia Roman Fort\, which was a key supply base to Hadrian’s Wall.\n•Take a walking tour of the 1st-century A.D. Roman fortress-town of Chester\, home to the most complete ancient city walls in Britain as well as Britain’s largest Roman amphitheater.\n•Explore the bustling lanes of York\, which was established as a Roman garrison town in A.D. 71 and went on to be a Viking stronghold and prosperous medieval city.\n•Drive though the breathtaking English Lake District\, a UNESCO World Heritage Site\, including a cruise excursion on Lake Windermere\, England’s largest lake; and a stop at Castlerigg Stone Circle\, which is one of the earliest Neolithic stone circles in Britain.\n•Walk the streets of the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh\, including the historic Royal Mile and Calton Hill\, which was considered Edinburgh’s version of Athens’ Acropolis in the 19th century\, and are altogether a UNESCO World Heritage Site.\n•Marvel at museum collections showcasing spectacular Roman finds and more\, including the Yorkshire Museum and Gardens; Great North Museum: Hancock\, whose collections include carved and inscribed stones from Hadrian’s Wall\, among many other treasures; Vindolanda’s nearby Roman Army Museum; and Edinburgh’s National Museum of Scotland.

SUMMARY:Hiking Scotland's Orkney & Shetland Islands
DESCRIPTION:This is the perfect opportunity to explore all that Scotland’s Northern Isles have to offer: prehistoric stone circles\, burial chambers\, and settlements; quaint villages; huge seabird colonies; and remarkable plant life—all amidst dramatic landscapes. This will be Scotland seen slowly\, with time for in-depth exploration at each site. The Orkney and Shetland islands have an amazing wealth of archaeological sites dating back 5\,000 years. Together the islands have more than 18\,000 known sites\, with new discoveries being made every year. This archaeological saga is worth the telling\, and nowhere else can the evidence be seen in more glorious a setting.\nHighlights: \n1. A private virtual tour of the Ness of Brodgar excavations and access to some of the finds. This ceremonial site in the “Heart of Neolithic Orkney” was in use for around 1\,000 years and a 20-year excavation project was completed in 2024. The site is within the\nUNESCO World Heritage Site on Orkney\, which also includes the chambered tomb of Maeshowe\, estimated to have been constructed around 2700 B.C.; the Stones of Stenness; the 4\,000-year-old Ring of Brodgar\, one of Europe’s finest Neolithic monuments;\nSkara Brae settlement; and associated funerary monuments and stone settings. These are unquestionably among the most important Neolithic sites in western Europe.\n2. “The Crucible of Iron Age Shetland”—including Mousa Broch\, the best-preserved known broch in the world\, Old Scatness\, and Jarlshof—where the lack of intensive modern farming means that the preservation of these sites and their landscapes is exceptional.\n3. The Isles are a birdwatcher’s paradise\, and one of the major seabird breeding and feeding areas in the North Atlantic. More than a million birds breed in very large colonies.\n4. All meals are included\, and you will enjoy comfortable accommodations: four nights at the elegant Lynnfield Hotel\, a comfortable overnight ferry from Orkney to Shetland and from Shetland to Aberdeen\, and three nights at the remote and charming Busta\nHouse Hotel.
