Scotlands Landscapes and Gardens 2012


This year promises to be another exciting one of journeys and people to meet and places to go. Established favourites such as the Western Isles and Orkney are already being booked. New ideas such as Skye and Raasy are proving popular. A few new destinations are taking shape e.g. Angus Glens and Gardens, Dumfries and Galloway and Inverewe and Auchiltibuie. At the same time tried and tested expeditions such as Banffshire and Aberdeenshire landscapes and gardens are still available.


The itinerary and route can be modified to meet the parties needs. Visit the town or village where your family originated for example.


If you would like to explore these and even more parts of Scotland contact me. All we need is a minimum of three people and we can go anywhere in Scotland! Future destinations will include Colonsay, the Shetlands and Knoydart. Have a love of Scotland … will travel. Join me.


Take a look at the programme for 2012 and give me a ring if you would like more information or would like to book.


Best wishes for the year ahead and enjoy exploring Scotland.


Brian Sutherland.

  
Introducing Scotlands Gardens and Landscapes.
Scotlands gardens and landscapes are among the most beautiful in the world. They are so dramatically different.
From the Western Isles to the Scottish Borders. From bonnie Galloway to the Orkney Isles. It is a joy to visit these places and to walk the landscapes. On a micro scale within these landscapes are beautiful gardens waiting to be explored.
For over six years I have been leading groups to visit and explore Scotlands gardens and landscapes. We call our tours expeditions because there is always something exciting and new to be found and we never know whats round the corner on our travels. We have visited water gardens, botanic gardens, winter gardens, walled gardens, estate gardens, woodland gardens, castle gardens, training gardens, demonstration gardens and more. 
 
See Scotlands dramatic and different landscapes. Towns, villages, Lochs and vast expanses of moorland mountain and sea. With a little luck see wildlife. Deer, eagles, seals, red kite and maybe otters. It is little wonder that exiled Scots and visitors want to return to this beautiful place. I did.
 
I want to share Scotland with you and be with you when you say WOW!

The expeditions.

 

Depending on location and time available the expeditions vary in length. There are a number of destinations and include The Outer Hebrides, Scottish Borders, Aberdeenshire and Banffshire, Dumfries and Galloway, Mull Iona Ardnamurchan and Skye, Inverness to John O'Groats, Islay and Jura, the far North West, the Kingdom of Fife, the Isle of Gigha, Edinburgh and the Isle of Arran. Is there somewhere you would like to go that isn't on this list? Let me organise your visit and make it really special and interesting for you.

 Expedition - Banffshire Aberdeenshire, Castles, Houses and Gardens.

The expedition to the North East of Scotland, where there are many magnificent gardens, is attracting customers and there are still places available on this tour. Details are on the web site. Please contact me if you would like more information.

 

2012 prices.

I will try to keep prices at previous levels. Prices are being drawn up and will be added to the web site as soon as possible. This is against a background of increases in fuel costs and also ferry costs. I will be the guide and driver to all destinations and charges (to be updated to 2012 prices) will cover transport, accommodation and Guide/driver. Food and entry charges to properties are not included.

 

My aim is to make your journey memorable and to facilitate you having a good time. I want you to fall in love with my Scotland and want to come back. Many happy returns!

 

If you don't want a driver guide the information in this web site could help you to plan your tour. Feel free to use my web site as a source of information and inspiration! Good luck.

 

Please feel free to contact me for advice and help.
