      What to Wear on Your Vacation in Scotland Read More

      Below you’ll find advice on what to wear for each of our small group tours and guided holidays in Scotland, tailored to the various activities and weather conditions you’ll encounter.

      Walking

      Road Cycling

      Sea Kayaking

      Scottish Weather Read More

      Scotland is renowned for its ever-changing weather, where you can experience multiple seasons in a single day. It’s not just about the rain—wind, sunshine, and shifting skies are all part of the charm. One moment, you might find yourself under clear blue skies with the sun shining warmly; the next, a brisk breeze or a passing shower might sweep through, only for the sun to reappear shortly after.

      The best advice? Be ready for anything! Pack a reliable waterproof jacket, sunglasses, and even some sunscreen to make the most of your small group tour or guided holiday, whatever the weather may bring.

      For more detailed information, read our page on the Climate in Scotland, where we share valuable insights about what to expect during your trip. You can also visit our specific season pages below to find the ideal time to book your walking, cycling, or wildlife holiday.

      How Many People Join Our Holidays? Read More

      Most of our small group, fixed-date tours run with a maximum of 8 people. Small groups mean greater flexibility, and the camaraderie that forms often leads to a more rewarding experience, fostering connections with fellow travellers. With fewer participants, our guides can dedicate more time to each person, ensuring that everyone feels supported and able to engage deeply with the landscapes and stories shared along the way.

      Of course, there are some exceptions to the rule, and a small number of our guided holidays run with extended capacity, such as some of the cycling and photography tours and our guided West Highland Way, which has a maximum capacity of 16. These slightly larger groups bring an added sense of community, providing more opportunities for shared experiences, and allow you to connect with even more like-minded adventurers, all while still enjoying the high standards of service and personalised attention that are at the heart of every trip.

      Our custom tours can be customised to your own requirements, so the size of the group is entirely dependent on who you’d like to travel with.

      How Many Guides Will Lead Our Tour? Read More

      For the vast majority of our tours you will have the service of one of our expert guides on a 1:8 ratio.

      Our guides are highly trained, not only in the activity they are guiding but also in many other aspects that make up an incredible travel experience. Those include, landscape interpretation, history and storytelling, the night sky, gaelic in the landscape and of course in the high level of service we provide.

      On the water for our sea kayaking trips that ratio drops to 1 guide for every 4 travellers and for our West Highland Way tours (where we have a larger group size) we add an extra guide when the group size reaches 11.

      Accommodation Read More

      A warm Scottish welcome awaits you at every stop on your journey. We carefully select all our accommodation, working with locally run B&Bs, Highland inns, guesthouses, and boutique hotels, as well as indulgent castle hotels. Each stay offers a unique experience, whether it’s relaxing by the fire in a cosy hotel, soaking in the history of a grand castle, or enjoying a chat with your friendly hosts at a traditional guesthouse.

      Our dedicated team works closely with our accommodation partners to ensure consistently high standards. We’re also passionate about sustainability, prioritising providers with Green Tourism credentials and encouraging them to reduce, reuse, and recycle wherever possible.

      Wherever you rest your head, you’ll find comfort, character, and the kind of hospitality that makes your trip truly unforgettable.

      Further Information Read More

      Our holidays are led by fully qualified and very experienced guides, who will lead you on all of our small group trips, as well as looking after all of your requirements while you are on vacation with us.

      Our nature-based, cultural, and historical guided tours in Scotland are not for everyone. They are not regular sightseeing trips of the Highlands and Islands. All of the holidays involve outdoor activity, so you will need to have the appropriate level of fitness to join any particular small group tour. Even our ‘easy’ graded trips require a reasonable level of fitness.

      Furthermore, our trips venture into wilderness areas and national parks, so you need to expect the unexpected and accept that the weather and other factors sometimes mean a change of plan. This is all part of adventure travel. Please do call us if you would like to discuss any aspect of our small group holidays.

      Most of our adventure holidays in Scotland focus on one activity. We offer walking, sea kayaking, cycling, sailing, photography, winter walking and family outdoor holidays.

              in your own words

              This is an amazing trip which reaches places that are not easy to get to by other means. The terrain we crossed, and the trails we used were varied, but always interesting. A great mixture of all the different off-road cycling experiences which the Scottish Highlands have to offer.
