Road trips in Scotland
Explore independently on a self-drive tour. All trips include your accommodation, a rental car, and almost everything else you need for an amazing Scotland road trip.
With a personalised itinerary and hand-marked route map, you’ll know exactly where you’re driving each day and which attractions you can visit. You’ll also get a detailed travel guide packed with top attractions, not to mention some hidden gems. Plus, when you’re on your trip, support is always available with our 24/7 helpline.
Many self-drive tour packages start from Edinburgh and loop around the Scottish Highlands. You'll stay overnight in places such as St Andrews, Inverness, the Isle of Skye, Fort William and the Loch Lomond area.
With about 10 days or more, you can build on this route with stays in locations such as the Orkney islands, Outer Hebrides, Cairngorms National Park and the “Castle Trail” area of Aberdeenshire.
If you’ve got 2 weeks in Scotland, that’s even better. You’ll be able to see the top attractions at a leisurely pace or discover more beautiful scenery.
Privately guided tours
Choose a privately guided tour and you’ll get to pick your travel companions – whether that’s your favourite travel buddy or a group of friends and family. You’ll get a private vehicle with your very own driver-guide for a personalised experience.
Tell your travel consultant what your interests are, and they’ll try to pair you up with a guide who shares those passions. Whether that’s history, photography, or hiking, we’ll try to make sure your trip suits you.
Relax as your guide drives you to iconic spots around Scotland like Eilean Donan Castle, Glen Coe, Glenfinnan Viaduct and more.
Guided group tours in Scotland
If you don’t fancy driving, consider a guided group tour. This way, you’ll get insight from a local expert while getting to meet some like-minded travellers.
Customise your trip by adding extra nights at the beginning or end of your tour in your arrival or departure city, typically Edinburgh. This means you can explore the city at your leisure or simply rest up for the journey ahead.
