Call us and explore Scotland beyond the capital

Full day tours from Edinburgh designed around you

Edinburgh is an ideal starting point for exploring more of Scotland. With Tailabout Tours, your full day tour can move beyond the city towards coastlines, castles, lochs, glens, Highland landscapes and historic destinations across the country. Collection and drop-off are available from Edinburgh and surrounding areas. Small groups make it easier to shape the experience around friends, families, couples or individual travellers. Instead of following a fixed schedule, your tour can be planned around your interests, including dramatic Highland scenery, historic castles, Scottish heritage, coastal views, photography or quieter roads away from large tourist groups.

What to expect from a full day tour from Edinburgh

A full day gives you room to explore without treating every stop as a race against the clock. Depending on your interests, the day could take you towards St Andrews and the Kingdom of Fife, the East Neuk fishing villages, Falkland Palace, Glencoe, the Highlands, Loch Lomond, Argyll and Bute, Royal Deeside or the Cairngorms. Historic routes can also include Culloden Battlefield or Hadrian's Wall where appropriate. Scenic drives, historic locations and local stories all form part of the experience.

Private Edinburgh tours rather than a fixed coach itinerary

A private guided experience gives you greater flexibility over how your day develops. Smaller groups make communication easier, and a personalised route can respond to what interests you most. You may want extra time for photography, prefer historic sites rather than long scenic drives, stop somewhere quieter or spend more time hearing the story behind a particular location. Tailabout Tours is built around that flexibility.

Tailor-made itineraries and Scottish experiences

Your full day can be designed around the type of Scottish experience you want. History and heritage can take you towards castles, battlefields and ancient landmarks. Nature-focused routes can include lochs, mountains, forests and countryside. Photography-led days can prioritise scenic viewpoints and quieter roads. Traditional Scottish snacks and bottled water are provided during tours, while a free single malt whisky tasting adds a distinctly Scottish element.
