We are delighted to announce we have now launched the tours in French and German too, with Severine. Our first French tour sold out within hours, so be quick to catch the next one |

Brunch at Home
We still have places available for this event on Saturday the 16th May. 5pm UK time, which is 12noon EST and 9am Pacific Time. Join Emma & Anne with special guests Jenny, from Courses with Cooks- who will show us the very best way to bake scones, and Gillebride, The Bard, and renowned gaelic singer, who will entertain us. A great way to catch up with friends and enjoy a taste of Scotland on a Saturday morning.
We were on the Radio
Our national radio station Good Morning Scotland featured our Virtual tours and you can hear the interview here. It was quite a surprise to wake up in the morning and hear your own voice coming out of the radio. There has been a lot of interest in our Virtual tours from local industry bodies and other tour companies. We are happy to share our experience if it can help others.
Listen to Sam Heughan at Doune Castle
Those who have been with us at Doune (Castle Leoch) will know that you can listen to Sam on the audio guide telling you about Outlander filming. Well now you can all listen in. For a limited period, to help get us through lockdown, Historic Scotland have made their audio guides available online. You can “visit” Edinburgh and Stirling Castles and, also Doune, with the Outlander audio.
