Plan Your Trip

Let’s Make Your Trip to Scotland Unforgettable

Vacations are a rarity by their very nature, and if you’re planning a trip to Scotland you know the financial cost of such a trip isn’t small potatoes. Nothing’s worse than a mediocre trip where you know you just missed the highlights. I’ve helped people from around the world avoid that pit trap, people who believed that the comparatively small cost of “great trip insurance” provided by my services was a good idea.

I’ve spent more than a decade ranging across Scotland as an explorer and hunter of fine experiences, and I’m using that knowledge as a Scotland trip planner to craft wonderful trips to Scotland. Why not let me, a detail-oriented travel consultant focused solely on Scotland, share my first-hand experience, deep knowledge, and unshakeable passion with you to help ensure your trip to Scotland is one you’ll never forget?

I offer several consultation services designed for travelers of various levels of preparedness. Check out the summaries to the right — I’m sure you’ll find one that meets your needs.

Latha math…

Whether you have already made a trip to Scotland, or are planning one in the future, I would URGE you to work with Keith on your travel plans! We found him to be extremely helpful, insightful and knowledgeable in all aspects…travel, accommodations, the various regions, etc.

Our upcoming trip, in August, 2015 will be our second…the first, in 2009 was a small guided tour, which was excellent…a week in the Republic of Ireland and a week in Scotland. We learned enough on that trip, and gained enough of a comfort level that on this upcoming trip, a three-weeker, we decided to take the plunge, rent a car, plan our own trip, at our own pace and make a bit of a circuitous route to experience more of Scotland. There’s NO way one can see all of what Scotland has to offer in that short of a time period, but we’re sure we’ll see areas that we can come back to and explore further in the future. (One could put ALL of the UK inside the borders of Oregon where we live…the ninth largest of the U.S. states).

That said, I sent Keith our itinerary. In just a short period of time, he asked for a Skype chat, which we did tonight. It was VERY obvious that he knows his stuff…and that he has a great love for Scotland. I did have some initial concerns that with our original schedule, we might have planned “too much, too quick”. Keith acknowledged that feeling, but instead of simply telling us to “cut this” or “do that”, he made some recommendations to consolidate a few things to where we’ll have a chance to slow the pace down and “stop and smell the roses”…and yet still see most of the areas we had originally planned on.

While it would have been quite easy for him to simply glance over our itinerary and give us a simple “Looks good” rubber stamp, he treated us the same way he would treat someone who didn’t have any travel experience in Scotland, or hadn’t done any pre-planning.

For ALL of these reasons, I would heartily recommend that you work with Keith on your Scotland travel plans…his attention to detail, his knowledge of the regions and his love of the country will serve you well!

Fair winds and following seas…
