Bespoke multi-day tours by Adventure Alba
Private multi-day castle and history tours of Scotland, driven and guided for your group only. We start from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness (other points by arrangement) and build the days around the castles, stories, and pace you want.
Stay where the trip feels right — a cosy B&B, a boutique hotel, a castle hotel, or a whole castle to yourselves.
We run private castle tours of Scotland for couples, friends, and multi-generational families who want the history — not a coach timetable.
You can stay in a cosy B&B, a boutique hotel, a characterful castle hotel, or rent an entire castle for your group. We match the rooms to your style and budget and handle the details.
Travel in your own vehicle with a dedicated driver-guide — not a shared coach. Days are paced for couples, mature travellers and families. No rushing.
Tell us what matters — castles and history, photography, whisky, family stories, or quieter days. We build a private multi-day tour around your group.
Your guide knows the stories, the quieter arrival times, and how to shape a day so you see the castles properly. We work from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness.
You do not have to stay in a castle. Choose a cosy B&B, boutique hotel, luxury castle hotel, or an exclusive-use castle. We tailor stays to your preference and budget.
Sample Itineraries
Not sure where to start? Here are some of our most popular multi-day journeys:
Fife and Glamis, Royal Deeside, Cawdor and Urquhart, Eilean Donan, then Glencoe and Stirling. A Skye day can be added.
The longer arc: Deeside and Dunnottar, the Aberdeenshire castle trail, Dunrobin, the west coast and Inveraray, then Stirling. Starts from Edinburgh, Glasgow or Inverness.
Dates, castles, pace and stay style set by you. A private tour built around your group.
Blackness, Midhope, Stirling, Doune, Scone, Glamis, St Andrews, Falkland and Culross. A short private castle tour from Edinburgh or Glasgow.
Castles with distilleries and golf, planned as a custom private itinerary. Enquire with the courses and distilleries you care about.
Borders and Dumfries & Galloway — Rosslyn, Traquair, Floors, Hermitage, Caerlaverock, Threave and Culzean. Quieter than the Highland routes.
Or tell us what you'd like to see and we'll design something just for you.

Dave was the best! The trip was very well organized and I feel like I really got to see the best parts of Scotland. Dave gave interesting stories about what we saw along with the history of each place.

Came to Scotland with my husband, we did a few days in Edinburgh and St Andrews on our own and then met up with Dave to travel to Inverness, Isle of Skye, and back to Edinburgh. We had an absolutely amazing time!...
Marie K
Dave was an excellent guide during our trip to Scotland! He did a great job talking us through Scottish history and thanks to him we were able to see so many amazing places, without ever feeling rushed. I would highly recommend him!

When our travel agent originally suggested a private tour, I didn't think it would be financially possible. However, when you have several people going, it quickly becomes the best option. The ability to customize the entire trip was so beneficial...

Our tour with David was wonderful. He customized it to what we wanted to see, and he took care of every detail. Our hotels were excellent, the van was clean n comfortable, all we needed to do was get in the van n enjoy the days. I would recommend The Alba Adventure!
