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!
Hope everyone has been enjoying the antics of the Tartan Army over in Boston for the World Cup! Glad to see the Glasgow tradition of putting cones on statues is alive and well across the pond 😂⚽️🏴The Scottish fans didn't just bring bagpipes and beer to Boston.
They brought traffic cones for the statues too.

If trees could talk, this one would have some tales to tell!
This is the Birnam Oak, 600 years old and the last remaining tree of the Birnam Wood mentioned by Shakespeare in Macbeth.
In the play Macbeth is warned by the witches that he will not be overthrown until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane. Macbeth decides to ignore the witches with their crazy talk of trees moving around and commits several murders in pursuit of the Scottish throne. However Malcolm’s army take branches from the trees in the wood, use them to disguise themselves, and ultimately Macbeth meets a sticky end (it is a tragedy after all!)
Shakespeare is rumoured to have visited Perthshire with a group of travelling players in 1589, so perhaps he visited here and took inspiration from the forest ✍️
The oak in folklore is the king of the forest, and a hollow in an oak tree is said to be a fairy door, or a gateway to supernatural realms. The word ‘druid’ may come from a Celtic word meaning “knower of the oak tree” 🌳 🌳🌳
