Facile

About 1.5 to 3 hours on foot a day, broken by meals and the van, on cobbled streets, castle ramps, garden and woodland paths and a few rough hill paths that can be wet. The hardest parts are the hill trip to the reindeer (about 30 minutes each way on a rough path) and the Old Man of Storr (a steady climb, walked as far as you like). Each has a seated or level alternative, and anyone can sit any walk out with a coffee.

Arrive in Edinburgh

Edinburgh Airport to your hotel in the centre, then Princes Street Gardens

  • Early welcome dinner
  • Nuit : Edinburgh
  • Environ 30 min de route

Fly into Edinburgh Airport (EDI), about 13 km west of the city, and a driver meets your family in arrivals for the ride to our hotel in the centre, a short walk from Princes Street. Land by about 2 pm if you can; with children and jet lag, coming a day early is easy to arrange. At about 4:30 your See Sight Tours guide meets everyone in the lobby so the children can put names to faces, then leads a gentle, level walk through Princes Street Gardens under the castle rock, past the floral clock and the Ross Fountain, with benches all the way. The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995.

Soir

Dinner is early, at about 6 pm, so the youngest can be in bed on time: a welcome meal together, with a short briefing on the week, what to pack for Skye and how each day is paced.

Imprimer l'itinéraire

Faune et météo : Scottish weather changes by the hour, so the guide may swap the order of stops to catch drier spells, and the Armadale ferry, the Falkirk Wheel boat or the Loch Lomond boat can be cancelled in high wind (if the ferry stops, we leave Skye by the bridge and the train is refunded). Days are long from May to July, with light until about 10 pm in the north, which helps children who wake early. Reindeer are out on the hill all year; red deer are often seen on Rannoch Moor, and seals and sea eagles are possible around Skye. Midges are worst on still, damp days from June to September.

Questions

What does the Scotland family trip price include?

Seven nights in central hotels, 7 breakfasts, 6 lunches and 2 early dinners, airport transfers, a private minivan and driver, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, the Skye ferry, the train over the Glenfinnan viaduct, the Falkirk Wheel and Loch Lomond boats, and every visit in the day plan, from Edinburgh Castle to the reindeer. Drinks, tips and a few optional extras are not included.

What ages is this trip for?

Children aged 6 and up, with their parents and grandparents. Every day was planned to suit a 9-year-old and a 70-year-old at once, with an easy option and a longer one on walking days. Children must stay with an adult throughout. For children under 6, ask about the private version, where the pace can follow nap times.

Is the trip too much for grandparents?

It is built not to be. Most days have under 3 hours in the van in short legs, the climbs to the castle, the reindeer and the Storr have a taxi, a seat or a roadside viewpoint instead, and dinners we book start at about 6 pm. Guests should manage about 1.5 to 3 hours on foot a day, broken by stops.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests in a minivan, never a full-size coach, and a group can be two or three families travelling together. A single family of six or fewer books the private trip instead. That size fits Skye's single-track roads, the reindeer hill trip and one table at lunch.

Who leads the trip?

A See Sight Tours guide is with the group for the whole trip, from the first walk in Edinburgh to the drop in Glasgow, and a professional driver is at the wheel so the guide can look after the family. Site guides and the reindeer herders lead their own visits.

Can we have family rooms or connecting rooms?

Yes, we ask for them. Tell us how your family wants to sleep when you request to book, and we confirm family, triple or connecting rooms with each hotel before you pay. For older travellers we ask for a lift or a ground-floor room. Child rates for a third or fourth person in a room are quoted at booking.

I'm a grandparent travelling without a partner. Do I pay a single supplement?

Only if you want a room of your own, which is from CAD 1,100 more and shown before you book. If you share a room with a grandchild or another family member, you pay the base price per person with no supplement.

When is the best time for a family trip to Scotland?

The trip runs April to October. July and August match school holidays but are the busiest and dearest months, especially Edinburgh in August. Late June and early September give long days, open sights and fewer crowds. Rain is possible in any month, and midges bite on still days from June to September.

How does booking work?

Choose a date and send a request to book. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. Prices are per person sharing a room, taxes included: the small group starts from CAD 6,425, and private from CAD 11,565.

Can our family travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. Besides the small group, the trip runs as a private trip for your family only, on a date you choose, with your own guide and vehicle; a family of six or fewer, under the small group's minimum of 7, always books this way. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we will quote the same hotels and transfers.

Do our children need an ETA to visit Scotland?

Yes. Canadian and US passport holders need no visa for a tourist visit to the UK, but every traveller, children and babies included, needs a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), applied for online before you fly for a small fee. Bring passports valid for the whole stay; other nationalities should check the UK rules.

Is the train over the Glenfinnan viaduct the Harry Potter train?

It is the same line and the same viaduct, but the included ride is the regular train from Mallaig to Fort William. The Jacobite steam train, used in the films, is an optional upgrade when its timetable and seats allow, at the price shown at booking. If wind stops the ferry, we drive round instead and refund the train.
