Scottish Terrier Tours - Gourock

Fabulous personalised tour for our family of five, including three teens! Richard was a conscientious and fact-filled driver, and it was a joy to be free of all the stress of route planning and driving.... allowing us to relax and watch the scenery and really enjoy our trip through the highlands and Skye. We loved all the stories and personal touches, as well as the flexibility to modify the itinerary based on teen energy. Richard found some great hole in the wall spots for us and was always game for a photobomb! Would definitely use them again

Graem was incredibly courteous and made us feel like family in our 3 days in Scotland. What a great trip and wonderful memories. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience. Spent 4 days with Richard (Ricky). Incredibly humorous and witty. The entire family loved him and his passion for his country. He took us places we would have never thought to go on our own. Knew the history. Researched surnames to aid in finding our tartans. If you’re thinking about visiting Scotland, find Ricky. You will not be disappointed.

Wow! My family came over after I ran the London Marathon for a 4 day tour with Ricky and we had the absolute best time. Ricky was so knowledgeable about his country and took us to places we wanted to see as well as places he thought we should see! He was thoughtful and hilarious! We were sad to part ways with him. Highly recommend booking with Scottish Terrier Tours…Ask for Ricky!!!

We had a wonderful experience touring Scotland with Graeme and Teddy! It was an experience of a lifetime to see Scotland through Graeme's eyes. He has an obvious love and pride for his country. We will be back!

By far the highlight of our entire UK holiday. Ricky was AMAZING! Graeme listened to what we as a family wanted for this day and paired us up with Glasgow based Ricky who was just splendid. A delightful, funny, informative beautiful day in the Highlands. We just couldn't have asked for a better time, we are all still laughing over the Troosers song and so many facts and stories throughout the day! SO FUN !! Book a tour !!

Our group of 4 did a multi day tour from Edinburgh to the Highlands in June 2017 with Derek Giles. It was absolutely amazing. Derek was the perfect guide for us. He was relaxed, flexible, and professional. He gave us suggestions on things like where to eat, what local foods to try, and hidden gems to see. He made the experience a lot richer. I always felt safe with his driving (and that took a LOT of the stress that comes with traveling off our backs).

Derek offered us a "wee dram" of 12 year old, single malt whisky. This was my first time (as well as 2 others on the tour) ever trying whisky and it was absolutely delightful. Small touches like this go a long way in creating a good impression. We felt welcome and well cared for.

Working with Tracy Giles in the planning stages was also great. She was easy to communicate with. All planning took place via email, and response time was always really quick despite the 5 hour time difference.

I feel like I really got a great overview of Scotland and the Scottish people. I am really glad we chose to go with Scottish Terrier Tours. I definitely recommend it and would go back.

In 2019, I began planning an adventure for me and one of my best friends. We both love Outlander so when we decided to go to Scotland, we knew we wanted to do an Outlander specific itinerary. I started the search for tour companies and stumbled upon Scottish Terrier Tours. And from the initial reaching out process, the owners, Graeme & Tracy were warm, attentive, and helpful. They put together an amazing 4 day itinerary based on places we said we wanted to see while also using their expertise to add in more places they knew we needed to experience. We were meant to travel to Scotland in May 2020 but we all know how that turned out. They were amazing about rescheduling. And now, 2 years later, the trip was finally able to take place. We flew to Glasgow and awaited our guide. We were told our guide, Hugh, would pick us up at our hotel. And from the moment he arrived, it was pretty much love at first sight. Just like the company he was representing, he was warm and lovely from the get go. And he also had us dying laughing more often than not. Our guide, Glencoe…oh, I mean Hugh (sorry, we now have inside jokes with him) is a wealth of information about all things Scotland. We learned so much along the way. But we could also just chit chat about any and all topics as we drove along the Scottish countryside from place to place. To say Scotland is beautiful is an understatement. It’s a magical place. And having someone who so clearly loves his job and his country made it that much more of a special experience. One of my favorite parts of traveling is meeting people and finding out how they live their lives. Forget the Dos Equis guy! Hugh might just be the most interesting man in the world. We loved hearing about his world travels & getting to hear about and then see some of his most beloved spots in Scotland. I could do on and on and on. That quote about how traveling is the only thing you buy that makes you richer, is so very true. I love making new friends while abroad and creating an international family. My friend and I both feel like Hugh is now a member of that family. And none of it would have been possible if not for Scottish Terrier Tours. I am so grateful to them for planning the best four days of fun! It was very hard to leave Scotland. But I know I will return one day! So if you’re looking for a tour company for your trip to Scotland, do yourself a favor and book with Scottish Terrier Tours. Thank you Graeme, Tracy & Hugh! A piece of my heart now belongs to Scotland!
