Scottish Highland Trails is a family business specialising in personalised, tailored vacation packages for visitors to Scotland.
We cater for private individuals, couples, families and small groups.
We do not have pre-wrapped vacations on a shelf ready for you to be neatly slotted into one of them. Tell us precisely what you want and then sit back while we build a vacation package to your requirements. We start with a blank page for everyone and we work with you to build your ideal tour. Nothing is ruled out and everything is possible given the right circumstances. The draft is sent to you for comment, amendment or even scrapping after which we will start again.
Throughout the tour planning process you will deal with one of our team only. A representative will meet you at your arrival airport, oversee your tour when you are here, and ensure your preparations for your journey home go as smoothly as possible.
We believe in traditional values of service and will always go the extra mile to ensure your vacation is as stress free and enjoyable as it can possibly be.
We do not charge for our tour planning process. If we cannot create the ideal vacation package for you at a price you are willing to pay then you can walk away with our best wishes as we will have failed, not you! Why not contact us and see what we can do for you?
We look forward to welcoming you to Scotland!
*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!
