The regions
Scotland’s distances look short on a map, but Highland roads are narrow and winding. We plan a realistic route, arrange a private driver or a self-drive itinerary, and choose castle hotels and country houses along the way.
The castle, the Royal Mile and the Georgian New Town, with the Edinburgh Festival Fringe filling the city every August.
Glen Coe, Loch Ness and the Cairngorms, with Inverness as a base for castles, battlefields and long scenic drives.
The Quiraing, the Old Man of Storr and Dunvegan Castle, reached by bridge or by ferry from Mallaig.
The home of golf, a medieval university town and the fishing villages of the East Neuk, about an hour from Edinburgh.
The heart of Scotch whisky country, with more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland along the River Spey.
Castles, quiet lochs and a dram by the fire.
One advisor to shape every day around you.
Experiences
Every journey begins with what matters most to you.
Tee times on the links at St Andrews, Carnoustie and the courses of Ayrshire and East Lothian, with transfers between them.
Private distillery visits in Speyside and on Islay, with a driver so every tasting can be enjoyed.
Eilean Donan, Edinburgh, Stirling and Dunnottar, and nights in castle and country house hotels.
The West Highland Line over the Glenfinnan Viaduct, and multi-day rail journeys through the Highlands.

Timing
May to September is the best time for most of Scotland, with long daylight hours and the warmest weather. May and June are often drier than July and August, and the Edinburgh festivals take over the city in August.
Lambing season, gardens in bloom and quieter roads in the Highlands.
Long days, the Edinburgh festivals, Highland Games and peak golf season.
Heather and autumn color in the glens, red deer and cozy distillery visits.
Hogmanay in Edinburgh, snowy peaks and fireside evenings in country hotels.
Questions
May to September offers the longest days and mildest weather. May and June are often drier and less busy than July and August.
Nonstop flights from the New York area to Edinburgh or Glasgow take about seven hours, with some routes seasonal. We arrange the flights and your arrival transfer.
U.S. citizens do not need a visa for short visits, but the United Kingdom now requires an Electronic Travel Authorisation before travel. We confirm the current requirements for your trip.
Driving is on the left and Highland roads are often single track. Many of our travelers prefer a private driver guide, and we also plan self-drive routes with realistic daily distances.
Yes. Tee times on the Old Course are limited and some are allocated by ballot, so we plan well ahead and pair it with other great links courses nearby.
Seven to ten days allows time for Edinburgh, the Highlands and the Isle of Skye. Add a few days for golf in Fife or whisky in Speyside.
