£180
Planning your dream road trip around Scotland, but overwhelmed about route decisions, where to start, and where to go?
This road trip route-planning service is designed to turn your wish list into a daily driving route tailored to your interests, pace, and priorities.

You’ll receive a clear, ready-to-follow road trip route, realistic driving times, sensible overnight stops, and expert, local guidance – so your trip flows naturally and avoids common pitfalls.

About Your Planners
Local expertise
We’re Lesley and Trev, Scotland itinerary planners with decades of first-hand experience travelling our wee country. Lesley has planned hundreds of trips and lived in Scotland all her life, based in Edinburgh and the Highlands. While Trev has spent years guiding travellers across the Highlands and Skye as a tour guide and qualified Mountain Leader.
Personal advice
Between us, we’ve road-tripped, hiked, toured, driven, and holidayed all over Scotland. That means your itinerary is built on genuine local knowledge - we’ve driven the roads, visited the castles, sampled the distilleries, and stayed in the places we suggest. Unlike faceless tour operators, our advice is personal, practical, and rooted in experience.
Tailored trips
We also understand how overwhelming planning a Scotland trip can feel. There’s so much to see, so many routes to consider, and limited time to get it right!
Our role is to simplify the process, make booking easy, and design a journey that creates a lifetime of memories. And we take the time to understand how you like to travel and shape each itinerary personally for you.
TERMS & CONDITIONS
For your protection and to make sure we’re on the same page, I’ve created these terms & conditions. Please have a read and make sure you’re comfortable with everything.
