Thanks for your interest:

As in years gone by I intend to organize and guide approximately 10 tours for the next year . Each tour is, of course, designed to suit the needs of each group. Most tours tend to do a circle of Scotland, touring Edinburgh, Fife, Highland Perthshire, Inverness and Loch Ness, Wester Ross, The Isle of Skye and Glencoe.

Tour groups tend to be very diverse, some groups consist of 8 friends or family members, others are made up from 8 folks who meet for the first time on the tour. Singles are welcome, as are all age groups.

Please find my basic tour information below:

On my small group tours of my homeland you will visit a destination in the world that few countries can match for history, romance, and incredible scenery. But it's also country whose people will capture your heart.

On my custom-designed tours you will see the Real Scotland and will meet Real Scottish people, for each personalized tour is paced for discovery and understanding, not just notching typical tourist sites.

On my tours your pace through Scotland 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 base locations from which we can easily visit all key sites on the itinerary, and return
home to every night.

On my tours you will experience the best of my Scotland, not just drive through it. On my tours you will see all the hidden gems that are only known from being born and raised in beautiful Scotland.

Whatever your reason for wishing to visit Scotland, I will help you create an itinerary to fit your needs. Some people join my small group tours simply because they just want to get away with family or friends. Others have
a very specific reason for wishing to visit my homeland. Perhaps they want to golf in Scotland, or visit historic castles or beautiful gardens, or discover their ancestral connections to Scotland. In fact, searching for ancestral and family connections and sites is one of the main
reasons why folks join my small group tours. To walk the in the footsteps of your ancestors is an unforgettable experience, and I can help you in your quest. Actually,
there's a thousand reasons to visit Scotland. That's why each of my tours is unique !

And though these custom-designed tours are not cheap, mainly due to the exchange rate of the dollar against the pound, they cost only a little more than a large fifty-two person coach tour - but provide much more personal
service - and much, much, more insight into Scotland.

Accommodations:
I choose hotels, not only for the quality of their rooms and service, but also for their location and friendliness.
Here are 4 hotels that I have visited often during the past 10 years of touring in Scotland.

The Craws Nest Hotel
The Craws Nest is located in Anstruther in the Kingdom of Fife. Anstruther is where I was raised in Scotland, and thus I have a special fondness for this picturesque village in the East Neuk of Fife. Anstruther is just 9 miles south of St Andrews and is ideal for touring and visiting St Andrews, Falkland Palace, Kellie Castle, Edinburgh etc;

The Dunalastair Hotel
