Tours of Scotland

Of all the places in the world, few can capture the hearts as my Scotland can. It is a timeless place, soft and green, yet wild and beautiful, where narrow roads meander along the banks of sparkling rivers - and sheep have the right of way. Quaint rows of cottages hug the seashore, or sit bunched shoulder to shoulder in village after historic village, and every churchyard, and castle, and palace has a story to tell of the folks whose spirits still haunt the ruined crofts and live in the misty moors of my Scotland.

"Well, that's the typical Scottish sales Pitch!" I prefer to show my guests the Real Scotland. A more Personal tour of Scotland. A country not only of Castles and Crofts, Lochs and Mountains. But a country of real people with a distinct, and fascinating, Culture which Scots are more than willing to share with you.

Here's a web site built by a couple of Tour of Scotland members from last year. I think you will find the site interesting and informative. A Journey Through Scotland. Here are some photos from tours which took place in May 2003. Here are some photos from Tours of Scotland during 2004.

On my tours of Scotland your pace will be leisurely with civilized starts each day and plenty of time to explore the local community after dinner each night. Nor will you have to pack and unpack each day as we normally stay in two or three base locations from which we can easily visit all key sites on the itinerary, and return home every night.

On my tours of Scotland you will experience the best of my Scotland, not just drive through it. On my tours of Scotland you will see all the hidden gems that are only known from being born and raised in beautiful Scotland. Any time from April through October is a really good time to visit Scotland, though some folks even visit at New Year !
