Shetland fly and drive
We want to thank the whole Staff because we had a beautiful holiday. Everything was perfect. We found the documents and booklets at our Hotel in Glasgow so we could have a look in advance. The suggestions made by McKinlay Kidd responded to our expectations and interests. The Hotels they selected couldn't be more comfortable. We had a warm welcome, superb food. They were different but both the perfect choice. We hope to come back and have another ...

McKinlay Kidd has put together a grat package and is a great tour operator. They are very professional, prompt and communicates very well with their customers. We had all information needed plenty of time in advance together with excellent tips on restaurants and things to see and do.





A most beautiful part of the world
I spent a week doing a fly-drive of the Outer Hebrides with my sister, and we loved every minute of it. The scenery was so beautiful, rolling hills and mountains covered in heather, extensive white sandy beaches, and rolling turquoise seas, we could have happily stayed for weeks! The people were, without exception, so friendly and helpful, it was a pleasure to be a part of their communities.

They were very easy to deal with, always prompt in their replies to any querries I might have. I only regret that the tour wasn't twice as long!!





Amazing Orkney holiday
We, a family of four, have just been on an amazing short holiday in Orkney. During the few days we were there we were able to visit loads of great places in this unique and fascinating area.

Mackinlay Kidd organised a bespoke excursion for us in which every detail (travel, accommodation, care hire, information, recommendations) was perfect. The communication was between us straightforward and it all came together very easily. They really couldn't have been more helpful, we are very grateful and would definitely recommend their services to anyone.





Self drive to Edinburgh and northwards to Orkney and Shetland, returning via Aberdeen.
McKinlay Kidd adapted a self drive trip to our requirements and it ran like a Swiss watch. All ferries on time, quirky hotels and lots of valuable information for local trips. We loved it all. Seriously considering the Hebrides next! Thanks to Kim who has the cutest Glaswegian accent ever! John Trotter

All arrangements for travel and accommodationwere well selected and communicated. Reliable and trustworthy.





The planning was meticulous and that was important as I was travelling independely from Glasgow to the Isle of Mull.
I stayed at the Tobermory hotel which was very comfortable and the staff were very welcoming. McKinlay Kidd organised 3 wildlife tours and each was very good in a different way. I was fortunate to see eagles, whales, a basking shark and red deer. I also visited Staffa and Lunga on one of the trips by boat. There were 2 free days and, at my request, I was sent the bus timetables to enable me to visit Iona. On my second free day I took a walk ...

There were 2 free days and, at my request, I was sent the bus timetables to enable me to visit Iona. On my second free day I took a walk detailed in the guide book which the company had provided. This walk was to Aros park to see a magnificent waterfall. I would definetly recommend McKinlay Kidd. The team are helpful on the phone, answer emails promptly and provide excellent information in a superior pack.

A brilliant experience carefully and thoughtfully planned for us
At every turn of this holiday we were awe struck by the natural beauty, wildlife and friendly folk it was a truly unforgettable experience, where else would you see a sea eagle and stay in a castle.

We booked at short notice and McKinlay Kidd did a marvellous job and when we had a minor problem at the ferry terminal (our fault) they were on the end of the phone and sorted it immediately for us.We were overwhelmed by their choice of accommodation and our only regret was that we didn't have longer to savour the experiences.





very thoughtfully put together. The combination of accommodation and locations chosen was perfect
We covered the northern part of the Wild Atlantic Way staying in a combination of historic and modern hotels and country houses. The scenery was stunning and the planning was very carefully done so we had the right amount of time in each location. It took the hassle out of planning this ourselves.

McKinlay Kidd were able to offer us a couple of options so we could choose what suited us best. We didn't have to do anything except turn up! The logistics (flight, hire car and all the hotels) worked like clockwork.





Great Trip
We took a self driving tour set up by McKinlay Kidd. All details were worked out in advance including auto rental, lodging, and some meals. We could not have asked for better results. We had a great time in a beautiful country.
