Outlander Tours of Scotland
A Mary’s Meanders Outlander tour is like exploring Scotland with friends who know every story, secret, and spectacular location — the same warm experience Diana Gabaldon experienced when she joined us in March 2019 as part of a press trip arranged by Visit Scotland. Choose the style that suits you: a fully private Outlander tour crafted just for your group, or our immersive small-group adventure where friendships form as quickly as memories. Either way, you’ll step straight into the world of Outlander while discovering the Scotland you’ve always imagined.
Ancestral Tours of Scotland
For over a decade, we’ve helped travellers uncover their Scottish roots. Walk the villages, kirks, and landscapes your ancestors once knew. A meaningful, emotional journey home — curated with care.
Available all year.
Follow in your family’s footsteps
In advance of all Ancestry tours we will cross-check the family information you have given us and do further research around it, to ensure that we are taking you to the places that will mean the most to you in terms of your family history.
If you are unable to travel to Scotland but want to find out about your ancestors our Virtual Ancestry Package can help.
Please feel free to get in touch directly if you want to explore which option is best for you.
