Wildlife on Outer Hebridies.

We wanted a holiday where we could see Scottish wildlife and this was perfect .. The holidays accommodation and ferries was all booked by McKinley Kidd and saved a lot of preparation.

We wanted a holiday where we could see Scottish wildlife and this was perfect .. The holidays accommodation and ferries was all booked by McKinley Kidd and saved a lot of preparation. All the accommodation was bed and breakfast and we booked evening meals well in advance as there are limited eating establishments which get full very quickly .. I think the scenery on the islands especially the Isle of Harris was the nicest I have ever seen.. If you want a holiday with theme parks and busy towns with shops this is not for you . For us spotting wildlife and taking life easy the holiday was perfect and all the bed and breakfasts the owners were lovely and really helpful .

Put themselves out, particularly when difficulties with inter-island ferries, organising last minute accommodation when threat of cancelled crossing at last minute.

Wonderful ...beautiful accommodation....quietly well organised, fuss free.

South to north of the Outer Hebrides. We drove ourselves. Had a fantastic time. Plenty of time to go gently and see everything we could. Great place to visit. It helped enormously that someone else (Mk-Kidd) did the organising. Produced the amount of info that was both necessary and helpful, and communicated brilliantly.Immediately responsive when a ferry had to be cancelled. We felt well supported if we needed to be.

Everything went like clockwork

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!

Wet Hebridean holiday

We had a lovely holiday in spite of the rain as McKinlay Kidd took care of every detail. Very professional, treated us as individuals.
