Clans and Castles offers specialized tours to the towns and regions of your clan's ancestry. The company attempts to bring you as close as possible to living your ancestors' history by taking you to ancestral graveyards, clan battle fields and even lodging that is clan appropriate. For instance, if it is possible, Clans and Castles will arrange for you to stay in a castle once owned by your clan, a castle that served as your clan seat, or a home or farm once owned by your forebears. There is no additional charge for any research that Clans and Castles undertakes for your holiday.
