Land on the sand at Barra, .. this was for my 60th Birthday, and a bucket list trip, The trip was excellent from start to finish, Barra is a special place, staying at Heathbank did not disappoint, lovely place and great owner....Marianne.....Hired a car and saw most things,.............a must trip if money allows................Will definitely go back, some day.................landing and taking off on the sand in a Twin Otter was amazing.................

Zoe, helped a lot in organizing, last minute additions, ie local flights to tie in with the main flight, and ensuring we had the best time, she is an asset to the company,

We really enjoyed our trip to the North of Scotland and Orkney. The weather was great, stopping places and hotels well chosen. All four of us agreed we'd had a really good trip.

They were very good and accommodated our request for a side trip yo the Orkneys, organising passes and ferry tickets.

McKINLAY kidd DID A BRILLIANT JOB FOR US tHANKS TO ALL THE TEAM

McKinley Kidd use excellent hotels and put together an excellent trip for us that was hugely enjoyable

Very responsive and quick to sort out issues.

We loved our Scotland trip and this was mainly due to the attention to details in the planning by McKinlay Kidd and the amazing choices of guest houses, tour operators and even taxi services.

McKinlay Kidd did an outstanding job every phase of the trip. They certainly put the money into their customers. - we were so happy with the choices. It was obvious that each place was thoroughly vetted.

A great experience, enjoying the significant differences between the Hebridean Islands, and Hebridean hospitality - great food and accommodation

This is our third consecutive year holidaying with McKinlay Kidd, each time a tailor made holiday. Their agents are very pleasant to deal with and they know the areas well. We have always been very happy with the varied accommodation choices they offer, and the arrangements they have made on our behalf. If anything outside their control goes wrong, they are on the ball, managing outcomes to ensure that you are happy. If you are interested in the kind of holidays they offer, I don't think you will find anyone better.

Short break to Isle of Skye by train. We travelled from Glasgow Queen St Station to Spean Bridge where we were met by proprietor of Old Pines Hotel. One nights stay bed/breakfast and evening meal. Beautiful location with beautiful mountain views. Meal and accommodation to very good standard. Ken took us to station following morning, nothing too much trouble. Onward train to Fort William where we picked up steam train and travelled first class to Mallaig, again fabulous scenic route. Ferry over to Isle of Skye and met by ‘Donnie’ who took us to Eileen Larmain Hotel for 2 nights stay B+B. Very comfortable large bed. Had meal both evening in adjoining pub. Following morning ‘Donnie’ took us for very comprehensive tour of island which we thoroughly enjoyed thanks to his excellent knowledge of the island. Following morning we returned home.

Couldn’t fault. Can’t think of anything they could have done better. Very comprehensive itinerary provided. Just sit back and enjoy.
