| Tearooms and Tearoom Tours with Scottish Dream Tours |


| When I was growing up we had afternoon tea everyday upon our arrival home from school. As was the tradition, this light repast carried us over until a later supper when my father arrived home from work. My mother faced no challenge in getting us home directly from school as we could not wait to see what aromas would permeate the house upon opening the front door. Chelsea Buns, Lemon Curd Tarts, Strawberry Jam Tarts, Shortbread, Victoria Sponge Cake, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Oven warm Scones with Jam and Cream! We each had our favorites but if my mother and sister were baking it was all going to be wonderfully delicious! |

| Having owned a Wee Scottish Tearoom for several years brought back all those memories of afternoon tea as a child and my ever increasing love for Scotland and a more relaxed way of living. When guests to the tearoom requested that I conduct a tour to my ancestral homeland, I though "why not" and Scottish Dream Tours was born. I am often asked why we focus on tearooms. Well, the focus is not on tearooms but we have to eat somewhere anyway, so why not indulge ourselves in the timeless tradition of taking tea! Our tours are designed to bring back yesterday with wonderful traditions and a much slower pace of life. |

| Touring Scotland became so popular that is wasn't long before we were adding on Ireland, Wales and England. Although we now offer tours that are not necessarily listed as tearoom tours, we still find that our tearoom tours are our most favorite tours. We are offering Scotland Tearoom and Castle Tours, Wales Tearoom, Yorkshire Dales Tearoom Tours, Cotswolds, Devon and Cornwall Tearoom Tours and our Luxury Country House Tours for 2010. Our tearoom was one of the very first to offer Red Hat Teas and I am delighted with our second offering for a Red Hats Tearoom Tour. We look forward to sharing our love of these warm, wonderful countries and sharing some of our favorite tearooms with you. You can find your self indulging in a Cream Tea, Afternoon Tea or a High Tea in many of our tours! |




| Strange how a teapot can represent at the same time the comforts of solitude and the pleasures of company. If you are cold, tea will warm you. If you are too heated, it will cool you. If you are depressed, it will cheer you. If you are excited, it will calm you. ~Gladstone, 1865 A Proper Tea is much nicer than a Very Nearly Tea, which is one you forget about afterwards. ~A.A. Milne You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me. ~C.S. Lewis You have filled my tea with lumps of sugar, and though I asked most distinctly for bread and butter, you have given me cake. I am known for the gentleness of my disposition, and the extraordinary sweetness of my nature, but I warn you, Miss Cardew, you may go too far. Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Earnest |
