We appreciate our guests from overseas will inevitably come across the odd problem or two when in Scotland. Thankfully, such problems are nearly always very minor and easily resolved.
However, to give some peace of mind when here, all guests have access to the Scottish Highland Trails 24-hour help line from which everything from directions to medical advice can be obtained.
It matters not how small the enquiry, we’re happy to help, ensuring a smooth vacation for all.
We also provide our guests with the 24 hour number prior to departure in order that friends and family can contact us in case emergency contact is required whist you are in Scotland.
This number is always covered by one of the Scottish Highland Trails Management Team empowered to make any decision required on the spot to assist you.
For guests on a self-drive package, we provide a full and comprehensive folder of maps, directions and instructions, which will hopefully keep you on the right route throughout your tour.
And it goes without saying that the same level of service including 24 hour assistance is provided in Ireland as well, should you be spending time in Ireland during your tour.
Tourist Information Centres are to be found throughout Scotland where a vast amount of literature relating to their respective areas can be found. The Tourist Information personnel are always happy to give advice and, if they don’t know the answer to your question, they always know who else might and will make contact for you.

*If you’re travelling in the Highlands just now please be advised to avoid the Glenmore / Loch Morlich area due to wildfire 🥲**UPDATE - 14:15 on 16 July
Emergency services and partners continue to tackle a large-scale fire near Ryvoan Bothy. The emergency response is being coordinated at a national level involving the Scottish Government, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Police Scotland, RSPB Scotland, Forestry and Land Scotland, the Park Authority and multiple other partners.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service have shared that the fire is currently affecting an area of approximately six squared kilometres. We are asking the public to follow the following guidance:
- Please do not travel to the area or attempt to access Glenmore Forest Park, Loch Morlich or the surrounding area while firefighting operations are ongoing. A strict cordon remains in place and road closures continue to support the emergency response.
- Those impacted by evacuations will have been contacted and we would ask everyone to cooperate fully with Police Scotland and other relevant authorities for their safety.
- Residents in Aviemore and surrounding areas are asked to close windows and doors to prevent smoke entering.
-Anyone with known respiratory conditions nearby is encouraged to contact 111 if they experience any difficulties. Contact 999 in an emergency.
Thermal drone footage captured by Park Authority staff last night has helped inform fire fighting efforts and highlight the scale of the fire, but the extent of the damage and the cause is not yet known.
Overnight emergency services, gamekeepers, NGO and estate staff were on the scene working tirelessly to control the fire. We are deeply grateful for their efforts, and those of the businesses and local community providing support to those affected.
We will provide further updates when we have them.

Happy 250th birthday to the USA! 🇺🇸🏴
Did you know Edinburgh Castle is home to one of the earliest depictions of the Star Spangled Banner outside of North America?
Deep inside the vaults of the castle, back in about 1780, Americans captured during the Revolutionary War were incarcerated in the castle prisons. One prisoner scratched out a faint image of a ship flying the Stars and Stripes on his wooden cell door. A quiet act of defiance by a sailor far from home, you can still see this if you visit the vaults today!
