Wonderful taste of Scotland

Round trip from Edinburgh. Two nights in each of 5 locations. Superb accommodations. Travel by train and cab. Absolutely great personal, private driving tours of Skye and Loch Ness area.; both guides were outstanding.

Caoimhe O'Brien. She sure seemed to work hard to give us the holiday we had imagined. When we had one small glitch, she was right on it, corrected it and quickly sent us the new info. Our second trip organized by her, and not to be our last.

Excellent holiday in the Outer Hebrides and Skye

The highlight of our holiday was a visit to St. Kilda. We also enjoyed our time spent on the Isles of Harris, Lewis and Skye, exploring the islands. The tour operator gave us lots of suggestions of places to go and things to do, which made our own planning very easy. Accommodation was very good and ferry bookings ran smoothly.

This is the third time we've used McKinley Kidd, one previous visit to the Outer Hebrides and a trip to the Channel Islands. so for us, we trust the company and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Rhiannon Finlay was super in our initial planning stages She was responsive & communicated promptly & clearly. Others who were also involved through the year & during our trip were just as helpful. They even rearrange & communicated a change in our ferry times, (due to the ferry operation, not of MK's doing).

Grand Tour of Scotland by Train is Grand

Everything was meticulously planned and executed by McKinlay Kidd for this tour. All we needed to do was show up and follow the itinerary. It was one of the easiest trips ever and allowed us to travel all around Scotland. Many of the locals we met were jealous of how much of the country we were seeing. The hotels are all first rate and everyone was so friendly and helpful. We had no problems on our holiday, but were confident in McKinlay Kidd's ...

Exploring the Outer Hebrides

We had an excellent holiday arranged by McKinlay Kidd to the Western Isles starting in Barra and finishing in Stornoway. We were able to explore each of the islands in glorious weather - we were very lucky! The arrangements made for us worked well and we stayed in some lovely accommodation. A great experience..
