Leave The Herd Behind

Tour Scotland consists of three men

Sandy Stevenson. I was born in the Fife mining town of Buckhaven and raised, for the most part, in the East Neuk fishing village of Cellardyke. My early work years were spent in St Andrews, followed by many years of working throughout the Kingdom of Fife as both a Community Educator and Arts Organizer.

For the past ten years I have organized and guided my Small Group Tours of Scotland. The whole premise of this Tour Company is to try and provide opportunities for discovery and understanding - not just notching sites. Thus I try, as best I can, to persuade travelers not to request an endurance test for an itinerary, and, to limit each group is to an absolute maximum of 18 people (unless by special request), with a typical small group being just 8 people.

I prefer to guide groups through Scotland in a relaxing manner, staying at two or three base locations from which we can visit sites of interest - and not have to move luggage every day. My small group members tend to be travelers rather than tourists, enjoying seeing behind the tourist façade, while visiting with "locals" and visiting many sites not normally seen by the regular tourist.

Many group members visit Scotland to trace their Scottish ancestry; others to golf or fish; most come to simply enjoy the beautiful scenery, historic buildings and gardens, and most of all, to meet and enjoy the people of Scotland. My Small Group Tours can be best described as being " couthy. "
It's a Scottish word meaning " gentle."

Gordon Pollock and George Wallace. We have both lived overseas for several years and have now returned to the beautiful Argyll & Bute area of Scotland from where we now organize and lead Small Group Tours to our native Scotland - The Real Scotland.
