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!
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!

I use all of these, all the time! My granny used to tell me I was “as thrawn as a bag o’ weasels” when I was a wee girl 😂💙🏴The Scots language has words for things no other language bothered to name.
Dreich — that specific grey, damp, miserable weather that isn't quite rain but isn't quite not rain either. The English say "overcast." The Scots say dreich, which sounds exactly like it feels.
Thrawn — stubborn in a particular way. Not just obstinate. Twisted, contrary, determined to do it the wrong way on purpose. There is no English equivalent because English speakers apparently gave up trying to describe this personality type.
Glaikit — vacant. Dopey. The expression on someone's face when the lights are on but nobody is home.
Couthie — warm, friendly, comfortable in a homely way. The feeling of a kitchen that smells like baking and has a dog asleep by the fire.
Wheesht — be quiet. But with feeling. Haud yer wheesht is the full version, and it means be quiet right now and I mean it.
Scunnered — utterly fed up. Beyond tired of something. A level of exasperation English doesn't have a single word for.
Every language reveals the priorities of the people who speak it.
Scottish priorities, apparently, include very specific weather, very specific stubbornness, and very specific silence.
Which one is your favorite? 👇
