Tours of Scotland from Edinburgh

Edinburgh is a simply fantastic base for touring the very best of Scotland and the Scottish Highlands

If you are planning to visit Scotland and the city of Edinburgh then you’ll find the range of day tours and sightseeing trips, whether organised or self drive, and short touring breaks, the ideal complement to your stayin Edinburgh. Sightseeing tours are the perfect way to explore the real Scotland - a land of fairytale castles, picturesque lochs and spectacular scenery

You can choose to visit Loch Ness and Inverness - or St Andrews and Fife, Perthshire, Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond - both popular one-day tours. Or why not travel further afield - the beauty of the Isle of Skye, the remote yet picturesque surroundings of the Applecross Peninsula and nature watching in a lonely Highland glen are just some of the delights that await you

And there are many touring companies, based in Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh, with easy and fast access to both Edinburgh Airport and Glasgow Airport, who can meet our visitors on their arrival in Scotland, by air or rail – or at our Edinburgh hotel
