Tours
of Scotland
"No
one who Tours Scotland can escape the past.
It is everywhere, haunting like a ghost."
Welcome
to my Tours of Scotland web site. I hope you find my Tours of
Scotland site both informative and enjoyable. My
name is Sandy Stevenson, and for the past ten years I have organized
and lead more than one hundred Small Group Tours to my native
Scotland.

My
small
group Tours of Scotland, my homeland, are paced for discovery
and understanding, not just notching sites. You will see behind
the tourist facade visiting with " locals " and see
sites not normally seen by the regular tourist. You will not have
to move your base each and every day, for each Hotel will be chosen
to minimize the number of times you have to pack and unpack. Scotland,
being a small country, it is perfectly possible to visit most
everywhere on the mainland from a couple of base locations.
This
makes for a much more relaxing experience and also allows you
to get to know local people. I do not put 52 people on a huge
coach with an endurance test for an itinerary. In fact, each small
group travel party will be limited to an absolute maximum of 18
people. The most common small-group size has been between 4 and
8 people.
For
a taste of magnificent Highland Perthshire, the town of Dunkeld
is an ideal location. Dunkeld is one of my favourite towns in
all of Scotland. Not only is the town and local Perthshire area
very beautiful, but Dunkeld is ideally situated as a base location,
within easy driving distance to numerous other great Scottish
sites including; Loch Tay, St Andrews, Edinburgh, Stirling, Pitlochry,
Crieff, Aberfeldy, Dundee, and a hundred points of interest in
between. The Dunkeld area truly makes for an excellent base from
which to tour much of Scotland.
