Custom Private Castle Tours of Scotland
This is not a fixed itinerary. It is a private castle and history tour of Scotland built around your group — dates, pace, must-see places and how you like to stay.
We start from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness (other points by arrangement). You can follow one of our sample routes and change it, or start from a blank page.
Stay where the trip feels right — a cosy B&B, a boutique hotel, a castle hotel, or a whole castle to yourselves.
Why Custom
Why Go Fully Custom
Coach castle tours follow a set loop. A custom private tour does not. You tell us the castles and stories that matter — Stirling, Royal Deeside, Dunnottar, the Borders, Skye — and we shape the days around that.
Stays are yours to choose: B&Bs and boutique hotels, a castle-hotel night, or exclusive use for a celebration.
The Process
How It Works
- 1
Tell us your dates, group size, must-see castles, and how you want to stay.
- 2
We send a personalised itinerary and quote within 24 hours.
- 3
We refine the route together.
- 4
We collect you from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, or another agreed start point.

Is This You?
Who It Suits
Couples, friends, and multi-generational families who want a private tour rather than a coach. Guests come from the US, Canada, Australia, the UK and elsewhere. Anniversaries, milestone birthdays and family trips are common.
