We
operate our own tours, we do all the planning, we
don't use ground handlers and tour operators, we do
it all ourselves, offering you an opportunity to
see Scotland...as you've never seen it
before. We don't just visit all the main
tourist sites and we don't stay in tourist class
hotels.
What
we do is take you around Scotland as a part of our
family..... We are there with you every step of the
way, from picking you up at the airport or your
hotel, until we drop you off at the end of your
tour. Along with your tour director (see owner) and
our coach driver, we use local friendly guides who
know their areas well, not because they have
learned about them in books but because they live
there and know the area and its people. We
use all privately or family owned small historical
hotels, not large chains or tourist *first* class
hotels, rated from 3 to 5 stars. We dine in
our hotel restaurant or a local restaurant renowned
for good Scottish cuisine and you will have the
chance to meet local people at dinner and in the
pubs in each town. You will experience
surprise entertainment, historical castles, haunted
ruins, the mystical Celtic music played on Highland
Bagpipes and fiddles. You will see parts of
Scotland most tourists don't see. Of course
we also visit the woolen mills, whisky distilleries
and visitor centers of some of the more important
sites in history. You will learn the meaning of the
Massacre of Glencoe, the Callanais Standing stones
and Culloden Battlefield. On our tours you
will have fun, learn about the country, meet
interesting people and get to know the people of
this beautiful, mystical country we call
Scotland!
