Tour
Scotland on a relaxing, small group vacation of my homeland.
Welcome to my Scottish Tour web site, I hope you enjoy your
stay. All my small group tours of Scotland, which often include
my native Fife,
are paced for discovery and understanding, not just notching
sites. Each small group is limited to an absolute maximum
of 18 people, with a typical small group being just 6 or 8
people. I prefer to guide these small groups tours of Scotland
through Scotland in a relaxing manner, staying at one or two
base locations from which we can visit places of interest
- and not have to move luggage every day. Recent Tour Scotland

A
Small Group Tour of Scotland
Tour
Scotland guests tend to be travelers rather than tourists,
enjoying seeing behind the tourist facade, while visiting
with " locals " and seeing sites not normally seen
by the regular tourist. Many group members visit Scotland
to trace their Scottish ancestry; others to golf or fish;
most come to simply enjoy the beautiful scenery, historic
buildings and gardens, and most of all, to meet and enjoy
the people of Scotland. My Tours of Scotland can be best described
as being " couthy. " It's a Scottish word meaning
" gentle."
What
goes into an unforgettable Tour of Scotland ? Lots of great
scenery, for sure. Perhaps also a smidgen of something you
can't quite put your finger on, but nevertheless creates a
lasting impression. Maybe a piper or fiddler playing in the
pub; perhaps a conversation with a local; a shepherd working
his dogs; fishermen landing their catch, perhaps a family
gathering. All my previous group members have their own lists
of defining moments. I wonder what yours will be ?
Any
time from April through October is a really good time to Tour
Scotland. Spring and early summer are my particular favorites.
Forests, fields and glens offer a wonderful array of colors
during that time of year, while the long Northern days of
sunshine let you get out and enjoy it. There is also no shortage
of things to do as all the best attractions are already open,
and are far more relaxed away from the mid-summer crowds,
whilst in the cities the Arts season is in full swing. But
whenever you visit, you're always guaranteed a warm welcome
in my Scotland. June through August is the best time to attend
Highland Games on a Tour Scotland tour.
Each
tour of Scotland is unique and personalized to suit the needs
and interests of group members. You can also browse through
the many Scottish photographs and travelogues from past Tours
of Scotland on the following pages: Tour

Tour
Scotland group members will have the opportunity to shop,
play golf, visit local pubs and simply go for walks and enjoy
local sights and sounds. Let me know your reasons for wishing
to Tour Scotland, and see if I can best fit your needs. As
well as general tours of Scotland, I also organize and guide
some special interest tours.
