Why we love private tours of Scotland

Chelsea

European Specialist

There is so much to see and do in Scotland, the best way to make the most of your time here is to take a private tour. We love private tours in Scotland as they can be personalized to personal interests, whether you’re dreaming of exploring historic castles, touring and tasting at local whisky distilleries, playing the world’s oldest golf course, hiking to the Old Man of Storr on the Isle of Skye, or climbing Ben Nevis. 

Our local guides have all the expert insight to bring places like imposing Edinburgh Castle to life. If castles are on the top of your list, there are so many it’s easy to create a castle-hopping itinerary that can take you everywhere from Stirling Castle to iconic Eilean Donan at the gateway to Skye. Harry Potter fans will be thrilled to ride “Hogwarts Express,” the Jacobite steam train featured in the films that travels across Glenfinnan Viaduct.

Best places to go in Scotland

Scotland is for city lovers and adventurers alike, with fascinating destinations like Edinburgh and its famous castle hovering above atop Castle Rock to the stunning Highlands where waterfalls cascade from soaring, lush mountains, majestic red deer roam, and legendary lochs await. 

  • Edinburgh

    Spread across a series of hills with the famous Royal Mile overlooked by the 11th-century Edinburgh Castle, Scotland’s capital offers rich history and modern delights with high culture, art, literature, and renowned festivals.

  • Glasgow

    Glasgow offers impressive architecture with grand Victorian mansions, a renowned culinary scene that goes well beyond traditional haggis and tatties, and some fabulous museums, enjoyed among a cool and vibrant, unpretentious vibe. 

  • Isle of Skye

    The largest of the Inner Hebrides, Skye is one of Scotland’s most popular destinations, boasting awe-inspiring scenery with waterfalls plunging to the sea, coral beaches, towering craggy mountain peaks, and brooding castles.

  • Loch Ness

    The mysterious waters of Loch Ness are home to the infamous monster of the same name, with boat tours available to search for legendary Nessie while enjoying the breathtaking surrounding scenery.

  • Stirling

    Stirling is home to Stirling Castle, one of Scotland’s largest and most historically important. It’s stunning to view and costumed actors play roles from bodyguards to servants, for an immersion into 16th-century life.

  • The Highlands

    Covering nearly 10,000 square miles in northern Scotland, the Highlands feature sapphire lochs, rugged mountains dotted with purple heather, postcard-perfect beaches, enchanting castles, and empty glens where red deer stand proud.

Best time to visit Scotland

Summer is the peak tourist season in Scotland as the busiest and warmest time of year with temperatures that average in the mid-60s in Edinburgh, while places further north like the Orkney Islands will be a bit cooler. Many feel that late spring and early fall are the best time to visit for thinner crowds and decent weather. May and early June can be ideal for hiking with comfortable temperatures around the upper 50s/low 60s. The crowds start to thin again around mid-September and in October you can enjoy autumn colors with the hills and mountains covered in brilliant hues of crimson, bronze, yellow, and orange.

What to do in Scotland

Whether you’re a whisky fan, a history enthusiast, or an outdoor adventure, you’ll find lots to do in Scotland, from magnificent landscapes ideal for hiking to opportunities to step back in time at everything from ancient ruins and grand castles to battlefields.

  • Hike through stunning landscapes

    Hiking in the Scottish Highlands is the best way to soak up its stunning landscapes with trails that will bring you to lush glens, endless sparkling lochs, and tumbling waterfalls. You might walk the shores of legendary Loch Ness or tackle a challenge like Ben Nevis while golden eagles soar above. 

  • Step straight into history

    Scotland has a fascinating past dating back thousands of years that can be explored in everything from countless standing stones and the prehistoric village of Skara Brae on Orkney to the Culloden Battlefield where the 1746 battle changed history, and over 1,500 castles, some of which are open for tours.

  • Visit a distillery or two

    Whisky has been distilled in Scotland for centuries, with the first written record appearing in 1405. Today, there are over 140 distilleries, making it the world’s greatest concentration of whisky, with many welcoming visitors for tours and tastings from Singleton in Glen Ord to Talisker on the Isle of Skye.
