premier round Scotland by train through McKinlay Kidd

Fantastic holiday itinerary with amazing hotels and locations. Travelling by train through Scotland and staying at some of the most luxurious and beautiful places we have ever been to exceeded our expectations. With McKinlay Kidd working hard in the background they made this trip come off seamlessly even through the Scott rail strike.

The best personalized service tour organizer I have ever worked with. They set the bar very high making us feel as if we got the most out of our travel time in Scotland with the highest standards of care.

Received excellent customer service from initial enquiry right through to end of holiday. I drove through the Outer Hebrides, and Skye.

Malvina went above and beyond to arrange my itinerary, even rebooking the entire holiday when I said I would like to go to St. Kildas. She was also a reassuring voice on the phone whilst on holiday, during a time of ferry disruption. I felt at all times that I was in safe hands. Thank you Malvina!

Scotland's West Coast 500 Road Trip - The Certainty of Adventure in uncertain times

Our driving holiday was well organised every step of the way. Our itineary was detailed but easy to follow with lots of interesting options for each area We enjoyed wonderful Scottish hospitality everywhere - hotels, cafes, and shops. The hotels were well placed, for ferry crossings so we did not feel we were covering onerous mileage, others were in scenic locations.

They tailor made the holiday for us, taking into account our interests - walking, sightseeing, seafood and culture. We had peace of mind and a number to contact 24 hours a day if we had a problem. For us all went to plan no hitches.

Classic Round Scotland by Train by Judy M, 7 Jul 2022
Holiday Rating:

Very special holiday in Scotland, including Skye.

This holiday was our 30th anniversary celebration and was beautifully arranged by McKinlay Kidd. Travelled by train from inn to inn, with lots of special excursions along the way. Full day guided tour of Skye with a knowledgeable Scot in a kilt. Good food. Lots of interesting places to walk. Gondola ride to the top of Aonach Mor with spectacular views.

Trip to West Highlands and Iona by rail

A week visiting the West Highlands and Iona by rail, coach and ferry. Also included a trip on the Jacobean steam railway. This was a small group led by a very knowledgeable guide who was able to provide so much information on the history and culture of this part of Scotland

Landing on the Sand on Barra

Wonderful holiday, organised by McKinlay Kidd. I would never have been able to liaise the tide timetables for landing and hotel accommodation, much better to let the experts do it for you. Once in a lifetime holiday and a tick on my bucket list.

Rating for tour operator:

Very expertly handled considering the complexities of liaseing tide timetable for the beach landing and the availability in the hotel.
