Superb experience

We travelled from Glasgow to Spean Bridge to stay at The Old Pines Hotel for a 2 night break with a trip on The Jacobite Steam Experience included.This excursion took us on a fabulous 84 mile round trip from Fort William to Mallaig. Every aspect of our break was wonderful. The locations was breath-taking & all our needs were cater for at the hotel too.

McKinley Kidd arranged everything for us including pick ups & transfers to & from the train stations & hotel & the first class excursion on the Jacobite steam train experience. With courtesy calls to ensure all was it should be, we were given a top class service & would highly recommend McKinley Kidd to anyone.

Excellent holiday in a beautiful part of the uk

My Mother and I recently took a 3 day break to the Scottish Highlands to take the Jacobite train trip from Fort Wiliam to Mallaig. My mother finds walking difficult so I had arranged assistance for her. Mackinnley Kidd arranged everything for us so all we had to do was turn up! Everything was of such a high standard and everyone so helpful and kind to my Mother particularly. The hotel was more than first class . The whole experience was wonderful ...

The West Highland Line Experience

This was a brief time out from a busy schedule, mixing activity with rest. It was planned for me down to the last detail, and everything just fitted into place. First class hotel accommodation at The Old Pines, Spean Bridge. The attention of the Proprietor, Ken, and his staff, was exceptional. Booking an extra night on to the original was a good decision by me.

McKinlay Kidd, Glasgow, were friendly, helpful and efficient. They took all the stress out of booking the different trains as well as the accommodation. It all went like clockwork, and they are obviously very knowledgeable.

Our stay at The Old Pines Hotel was of a particularly high standard especially the food and service. Our trip on the Jacobite met our expectations and the scenery was spectacular.
