(Optional extras – with pre-booked tickets only) On Friday afternoon 9th November we offer a choice of three alternative Post-Conference Tours for delegates and accompanying persons. The prices quoted cover seats on a private mini-coach and entry fees where applicable. Departures will be at 13.00 from outside the Radisson Hotel. Tour 1. HILLINGTON PARK INNOVATION CENTRE (£12.50)
Dozens of Scottish companies have benefited from the Innovation Centre’s ground-breaking business support techniques. The complex is currently home to the Wireless Innovation Centre, the national centre for wireless & mobile communications Technology. The centre is located just off the M8 motorway to the west of Glasgow, only three miles from Glasgow International Airport. See: www.innovationcentre.org/hillington/ Tour 2. GLENGOYNE DISTILLERY (£17.50)
Our Group will be offered a dram of Glengoyne 10 year old Single Highland Malt whisky, shown a short video about the distillery and then taken on an informative and entertaining tour by an experienced Brands Heritage Assistant. The visit will end with an additional tasting of their award winning 17 year old Single Highland Malt Whisky – and an opportunity to buy some! See: www.glengoyne.com/scotch_whisky_distillery/distillery_tours/ Tour 3. NEW LANARK WORLD HERITAGE SITE (£17.50).
New Lanark was made world famous by the socialist mill owner Robert Owen in the nineteenth century when he undertook an experiment that amounted to little less than a second revolution, introducing ideas like childcare, education, healthcare and cooperative shopping that helped change the world. The fascinating history of the village is brought back to life in an award-winning Visitor Centre, where you can explore all the attractions with a passport ticket. Highlights of the visit will include the magical New Millennium Experience ride and an audio-visual theatre show called ‘Annie McLeod’s Story’, where the ghost of a mill-girl appears on stage. See: www.newlanark.org FIND PLACES TO VISIT ON YOUR OWN:
