Imagine sipping a fine whisky as breathtaking landscapes glide past your window.
Next, you’ll arrive at Cameron House on Loch Lomond – a favourite escape for celebrities – where seaplane flights and private yacht cruises are just the beginning. From there, the journey continues to the Cairngorms and the mystical Isle of Skye, featuring everything from helicopter tours to exclusive access to Balmoral’s Royal Estate.
Every element is tailored to you – no crowds, no queues, just Scotland’s most unforgettable experiences, delivered your way.

Days 1-3 Edinburgh
You’ll call The Balmoral Hotel home for two nights – settling into the elegant Glamis Suite. Your stay begins with a private three-hour tour of Edinburgh Castle – no crowds, just you and a wealth of Scottish history brought to life by your expert guide. Afterwards, unwind over a refined afternoon tea at The Waldorf Astoria – the perfect spot for a little indulgence and prime people-watching.
Dinner that evening is at The Kitchin – where Chef Tom Kitchin transforms local Scottish ingredients into something extraordinary. This isn’t simply Michelin-starred dining – it’s a celebration of Scotland’s culinary potential, shaped by deep knowledge and creative flair.
Day two is all about culture and calm. You’ll enjoy a private tour of the Scottish National Gallery – exploring the country’s artistic heritage without the usual crowds. Then it’s time to recharge at One Spa at The Sheraton Grand Hotel – named Best Spa in Scotland 2023, and with good reason.
To close your Edinburgh stay, a private whisky tasting at The Scotch Whisky Experience awaits. Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or just whisky-curious, you’ll come away with a real appreciation for the craft, culture, and pride behind Scotland’s national drink.
Days 3-5 Belmond Royal Scotsman - Taste Of The Highlands
If you choose to upgrade your getaway, you’ll board a private helicopter from Edinburgh – setting the stage for the next chapter of your luxurious journey. If not, you’ll be met by a private driver who’ll take you to your next destination.
Step aboard the Belmond Royal Scotsman for a ‘Taste Of The Highlands’ tour – a hallmark of luxury travel in Scotland. This elegant train journey takes you through Scotland’s countryside and offers the perfect showcase of natural splendour and Scottish heritage. Traverse through Dundee and the Boat of Garten, and witness the historical sites of Rothiemurchus, Culloden, and Keith.
The journey is adorned with breathtaking views of Perthshire’s rolling hills, the untouched beauty of Cairngorms National Park, and the stunning landscapes of Aberdeenshire and Angus. Experience unparalleled 24-hour steward service, exquisite fine dining and beverages, enlightening historical tours, and Scottish entertainment onboard.
Days 5-7 Loch Lomond
Getting to Loch Lomond is half the fun – take a private helicopter for dramatic Highland views, or relax with a private driver if you prefer to stay grounded. Either way, you’ll arrive at Cameron House, where Barack Obama and Leonardo DiCaprio slip away when they need to truly switch off.
Your Loch View Terrace Suite frames the loch like a living painting, complete with a welcome bottle of Glenmorangie – because nothing says “you’ve arrived” quite like excellent single malt. Unwind in the hotel’s spa, then step aboard your private yacht for a cruise across Loch Lomond with lunch prepared by your personal chef.
The next day brings a private seaplane flight to the legendary Isle of Jura – wonderfully remote, romantic, and steeped in Scottish folklore.
Days 7-12 Cairngorms
Choose your arrival style – helicopter for breathtaking Highland views or private driver for a more relaxed journey to the majestic Cairngorms. You’ll stay at The Fife Arms in Braemar, where the luxurious Royal Suite lives up to its name in this stunning five-star boutique hotel.
The Cairngorms National Park unfolds around you with some of Scotland’s most dramatic scenery. Take a private light aircraft tour to truly appreciate the scale of this natural wonder from above – it’s the kind of view that stays with you long after you’ve landed.
Then comes something truly special: Balmoral Castle, the Royal Family’s beloved Scottish retreat and Queen Elizabeth II’s favourite place on earth. Your exclusive tour reveals why this estate captured her heart so completely.
A day trip to the mystical Isle of Skye via private jet adds another layer to your Scottish story – this is where history and Highland legend blur into something magical.
Your final days are yours to explore the Cairngorms at your own pace before a private flight to Glasgow brings your Scottish odyssey to a close. It’s the kind of ending that makes you start planning your return before you’ve even left.
