luxury holidays with the accent on your scottish ancestry

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Barbara Zanzig -  Kirkland USA  

We had such a great time in Scotland! ... We got almost everything we wanted, except more time! ..... Please thank Mr. McPherson and Mr. Chalmers. (historian and guide!) We enjoyed both so much, and both Sandy and Peter gave us incredible insights. What a delightful trip! We will be back, sooner or later.

  

Judi and Brad Popkin - Dallas USA

Our Trail was so memorable, our hearts belong to Scotland. So many of our friends are incredulous of the number of activities we enjoyed and the breadth of opportunities to see the country.  We really appreciated the extra effort you put into making our vacation unbelievably memorable. Brad joins me in thanking you for one of the most enjoyable vacations we have ever had. 

 

Marv Beatty - Wisconsin USA 

Your meticulous research and planning made everything go smoothly and I came home both enlightened and well satisfied.  ...  gave me a much more vivid and complete idea of the context in which my ancestors lived 500 or more years ago.    

 

Leslie Braddock - Florida USA

..just a note to thank you so much for all you did for us while we were in Scotland.  I had the most wonderful time and I can not really convey in words how much the trip meant to me. 

Buittle house was Outstanding!  Also I really enjoyed the musicians, it was a unique perspective to be able to get a local musician performing Burns and Hogg  ....  I found it wonderful.

  

Don and Jackie Ritchie -  Missouri USA

I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful trip. It was just perfect in every way.  You managed to make Scotland, its history, and my husband's ancestral trail come alive for us.  The places we stayed and the people you had to show us around were absolutely top of the line.  We have gone on many trips to many places and I would have to say that this trip is right up on the top of our list.

 

Don and Sylvia Bulloch - Utah USA

Don and I want to thank your for making our trip to Scotland so wonderful. We received the Album, and ......it is wonderful. Your company is 1st class

 

Lynn Rudberg and Tim Renauld - Illinois USA

This was a trip tailored just for us and each of their tours is individualized. This was not the most inexpensive way to go, but it was a journey I had dreamed of and it enabled us to see places we never could have seen had we been on a bus tour, nor would we have been able to find them if we had been driving ourselves. Neither of us wanted to attempt to tackle UK driving and the tour included a careful, genial driver who was prompt, helpful, and on top of all the details. Before our trip it would have been impossible for us to imagine the winding unmarked back roads of the highlands or the curving, often unmarked country roads of the south.

For anyone considering travel to Scotland to visit family sites, I could not recommend a better way. Scottish Ancestral Trail gave me a lifetime of memories

 

Susan and Ron McPherson - California USA

I really miss Scotland . I loved it. It is such a beautiful country from what we saw and the people that we met along the whole entire trip were just so nice. Neither of the children have stopped talking about all the places that we went to since we got home. It was such a great experience for all.

 

Jerry & Laura Brown - Conneticut USA

My mind is still reeling from my incredible Scottish sojourn. I left my heart somewhere along the Tweed River and hope to return someday to retrieve it. Thank you so much for your tireless work and outstanding efforts in making deams come true.

‘When planning a heritage trip of your own, avoid large, disorganized tours by hiring an individual tour manager and guide who takes a special interest in genealogy.’
