Amazing Experience

Landing on the beach at Barra is really memorable and all the people in the Outer Hebrides could not be more helpful.

Train Travel Scotland booked with McKinlay Kidd

We traveled independently by train throughout Scotland with the tour company booking the trains, accommodation, and transportation. Most of the trip was in rural Scotland and local transportation and tours were also booked by travel company.

Good communication with our travel agent Carol prior to the trip. Every detail was planned carefully so we had all our seats booked on trains, we were met at each stop and transferred seamlessly to each accommodation or activity. The accommodation and activities were excellent and provided a good variety for our 3 week trip. We had one conflict which was addressed within minutes of sending an email when we were not expecting to hear back until the next business day.

Excellent tailor-made holiday

We came to McKinlay Kidd with only an outline idea of what we required, which had to fit in with our specific dates and a family wedding in Ireland. They came up with a great plan, which we enjoyed immensely and fitted in perfectly. We stayed in some really good hotels and enjoyed the many suggestions for our activities.

Stunning West Highlands rail tour

We have had the most marvellous tour organised to perfection by McKinley Kidd. With short hops on trains, steam train and a ferry as well as charming taxi transfers, we saw much of the magic of the Western Highlands. Spean Brisge to Mallaig, Arisaig and Morar, over to Skye and great beauty, Kyle and the lovely Plockton before Fort George and Inverness.

McKinlay Kidd by John, 2 May 2017
Holiday Rating:

Excellent, well organised and detailed, choice of hotels particularly good and there was no issue with any flight or rental car arrangements.

We spent time on the Orkney, Shetland and Skye Islands. All different and all well worth experiencing. The McKinlay Kidd organisation and sight seeing suggestions were great. Instructions were clear as were directions. The company clearly knew these places and it showed with the selection of hotels and their respective locations.

McKinlay Kidd's communication, paperwork and instructions could not be faulted. We had great confidence in the company's organisation and certainly felt that we were looked after personally. Our holiday was tailored to our interests and needs. We will use the company again when planning any time in Scotland or Ireland.
