Stunning Shetland together with Inverness and Glasgow.

From Inverness Airport for three nights in Inverness; three nights on Shetland followed by two nights in Glasgow with all flights, accommodation and transfers arranged for us in advance. Plus the most amazing guide on Shetland for two tours.

A trip around the Inner Hebrides

A thoroughly enjoyable experience of revisiting Mull, Colonsay, Jura and Islay with stunning scenery and great wildlife. Warm welcome at all accommodation.

Organised a good itinerary in a difficult year and who coped excellently when things went wrong (not through any fault of theirs).

Land on the Sand at Barra

The experience of landing on a beach runway in a tiny twin otter plane. The island of Barra and its neighbouring island of Vatersay’s glorious white sandy beaches, scenery and laid back friendly vibe. Wish we could have stayed longer.

The care that McKinlay Kidd gave us was excellent. The app from them allowed us to get all our documentation in one place. The documentation also gave us travel tips that gave us extra information.

Beautiful Highlands and Skye

Fabulous post lockdown Scotland trip. Felt safe and valued at our hotels and on the Jacobite steam train.

Robert from McKinley Kidd dealt with our booking efficiently. He understood what we wanted to achieve on our short break and was even able to change something at short notice with no hassle. We didn’t have to contact them at all during our holiday because everything had been planned with care.

Dreams to come true!!

We visited the Outer Hebrides in August and we were simply impressed from start to finish. The ferry across from Oban was so good, we got to see dolphins. The weather was definitely on our side. With all the information provided to us by Robert via Vamoos app, it meant we could plan our day very well as a family as all of us had access to the app. We ticked off the various points of interested spelt out in the itinerary and we experienced ...

We visited the Outer Hebrides in August and we were simply impressed from start to finish. The ferry across from Oban was so good, we got to see dolphins. The weather was definitely on our side. With all the information provided to us by Robert via Vamoos app, it meant we could plan our day very well as a family as all of us had access to the app. We ticked off the various points of interested spelt out in the itinerary and we experienced more than we could dream off. The long stretch of white sandy beaches, turquoise colour sea water and beautiful sound of the waves against the rocks were simply what we had hoped for in our holiday. The food and accommodation selected by Robert was simply spot on and everywhere we went, PPE was very much practiced and people took to us so kindly with their warm Scottish hospitality. My boys fished in a various lochs around the three different isles and caught/released brown trout. They were over the moon. One thing that I will take away from my holiday was noticing how well the entire isle was sustainably kept and people were very much proud of their homes and surroundings. I always wondered what the Outer Hebrides would be like and I have been totally blown away. To think it is Scotland and just in my back yard too... who needs to go away when dreams can come true here at home.

Robert did a wonderful job putting together a great itinerary and as it was shared via the Vamoos app, it meant the entire family knew what was coming next and could be involved in the planning instead of me doing it as always.

Tailor made trip round the Inner Hebrides and Skye

An outstanding trip, every place we stayed was excellent - lovely rooms, gorgeous views, great Scottish food and hospitality. Old Pines and Kinloch Lodge were 11/10 and the others 10/10. We have never had a holiday like this where everything was so perfect as this trip was and we have had many holidays!

First class from start to finish. The additional information and maps provided through the app was invaluable and very well selected and presented.
