I just returned from an 8 day private tour of Scotland with a friend and Will Stockham, from Scottish Routes, was the main reason for this exceptional holiday. The intent of our trip was a distillery crawl throughout the country and sight seeing along the way. Will's knowledge of both whisky and Scottish history provided us with an interesting and... More

A friend and I recenlty returned from an 8 day bespoke tour of Scotland through Scottish Routes. We had approached several tour operators during the planning stages of this trip back into the Fall of 2011, and Will Stockham, managing director of Scottish Routes, stood heads and shoulders above the rest. I will say that this is not necessarily an... More

My wife and I hired Scottish Routes for a multiple private tours and transportation and boy am I glad we did. Our driver Marti took us to places I never thought I would see (and many I never knew existed) and his expertise with the area and history was very entertaining. He navigated through back roads and showed us scenery... More

After looking at all the tour options, we signed up for a day tour of Rosslyn Chapel, Melrose Abbey and Alnwich Castle (pronounced ahn-NICK). The tour departed on time in a nice little van. Steven was great about telling the history of Scotland and each location. He answered all our questions with complete descriptions and had music to go with... More

This tour was GREAT! A small group of strangers from around the world, we bonded nicely and had a wonderful tour guide, Kenny, a retired Glasgow Police Officer. The tour included breathtaking scenery, visits to 1 mainland distillery and almost every distillery on Isla. There was a pleasant ferry journey to and from Isla. Isla is a lovely place. The... More

Tour to Stirling Castle, Loch Lomond, and Glengoyne Distillery was interesting and fun. Steve, our tour guide, was a wealth of information who brought us back to the early days of Scotland with his stories. We enjoyed every minute of it and would recommend it highly, More

By using Scottish Routes we were able to see everything we wanted and then some. There is so much we would have missed if we had done everything on our own. Will was fantastic, a safe and talented driver, always punctual, well organised, flexible and able to incorporate so much into our short trip. We highly recommend Scottish Routes. Don't... More

From the first time that I contacted Scottish Routes with an inquiry about a tour, they showed nothing but the utmost professionalism. Every email received a prompt and detailed answer. They also make great use of social media, and can be easily contacted through Facebook or Twitter. The treatment that we received before our tour from Will and company paled... More
