Scotland custom charter tours
From Edinburgh's castle and cobbled closes to the lochs and glens of the Highlands – a private multi-day journey through Scotland, planned around you.
From £320 per vehicle per day · You receive a quotation before anything is confirmed. Submitting a form does not create a confirmed booking.
Scotland rewards time. Edinburgh alone could fill several days, and the Highlands are best enjoyed slowly, with stops for viewpoints, lochside villages and castles along the way.
Because of the distance from Nottingham, we recommend Scotland as a multi-day tour. The journey north can itself become part of the trip, with stops in places such as York or Northumberland.
Highlights
Edinburgh
The castle, the Royal Mile and the Old and New Towns, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Stirling

Approximate travel considerations
- Scotland is a long way from Nottingham – we recommend at least four or five days.
- Some Highland roads are single-track with passing places, so progress can be slower than distances suggest.
- Weather can change rapidly, especially in the mountains. Pack layers and waterproofs.
- Midges can be common in parts of the Highlands in summer.
- Edinburgh is extremely busy during the August festivals – book accommodation early.
- Winter days are short in the far north, which limits sightseeing time.
