Sample journeys · 2027
From three days in Edinburgh to nine days across the Highlands, these are journeys we have shaped for guests. Each is a starting point: we change the pace, the places and the people you meet to suit you.
Plan your journeyEvery journey is fully private, with your own chauffeur
3 days · 2 nights
Leith · Holyrood · The Royal Mile · The Castle
Three days in the capital, opened by the people who know it best. Step aboard the Royal Yacht Britannia, walk the Palace of Holyroodhouse before the doors open, see the Crown Jewels of Scotland and dine within Edinburgh Castle to the sound of a harp. A herald reads the symbols of St Giles’ Cathedral, Charles MacLean MBE pours the whiskies he has spent a lifetime writing about, and the city’s finest jewellers, designers and chefs open their doors privately.
Two nights at The Balmoral, Edinburgh. A third night is easily added.

Dornoch · Brora · Tain · Cabot Highlands
The great links of the far north, with the Highland malts made beside them. Golfers play Castle Stuart at Cabot Highlands, the James Braid links at Brora and the Championship Course at Royal Dornoch. Between rounds come private visits to Brora, The Dalmore and Glenmorangie, lunch at Dunrobin Castle and the dolphins of Chanonry Point. Those who prefer not to play have a full programme of their own, from falconry to fishing with a ghillie.
Three nights at Links House at Royal Dornoch, beside the first tee, with a private chauffeur throughout.

Skye · Ardnamurchan · Mull · Oban
Island malts, sea lochs and a castle on the Sound of Mull, at an unhurried pace. By helicopter, private boat and ferry, the journey follows the west coast from the Isle of Skye to Oban, with private visits to Talisker, Torabhaig, Ardnamurchan, Tobermory and Oban, and time between them for castles, beaches and the sea. Every day has an equally rewarding plan for those who prefer not to drink whisky.
Two nights at Duisdale House on Skye, a night in an exclusive-use castle on the Ardnamurchan coast and a night on the Isle of Eriska.

Islay · Jura · Speyside · Royal Deeside
Two islands, two private flights and a journey measured in casks rather than miles. A private aircraft carries you from London to Islay for the great peated distilleries, and a second flight lifts you to the Cairngorms, between Speyside and Royal Deeside. A dram from a 1979 vintage cask at Port Ellen, a cask draw at Caol Ila, a bespoke day at The Macallan and fireside drams at Royal Lochnagar, with wild picnics, Highland music and private chefs around them.
Two nights on a private estate on Jura, then three nights in an exclusive-use lodge in the Cairngorms.

Glencoe · Skye · Royal Deeside · St Andrews
Grandparents, parents and children, sharing Scotland at their own pace and meeting again at the table. From the drama of Glencoe to the Isle of Skye, across the Highlands to Royal Deeside and on to St Andrews, each day has a single programme with natural moments to divide: teenagers to the hills or the water, grandparents to gardens, castles and gentler boats, and everyone back together for lunch.
Glencoe House, Kinloch Lodge on Skye, The Fife Arms in Braemar and Rusacks St Andrews, with a private chauffeur and guide throughout.

Edinburgh · Royal Deeside · Gleneagles · Fife
A capital, a royal glen and a great Perthshire estate, taken in comfort and without hurry. The journey begins in Edinburgh, crosses Perthshire to Royal Deeside and ends with four nights at Gleneagles, where each day can be as active or as restful as you wish. Along the way come the private encounters MacLean & Bruce is known for, including a whisky tasting with Charles MacLean MBE, subject to availability.
Prestonfield House in Edinburgh, The Fife Arms in Braemar and The Gleneagles Hotel, with a private chauffeur throughout.
