Book Customised private tours of Scotland for season 2026 - 2027

Learn a little bit about the man behind the kilt: Brian Collie has worked in the travel and tourism industry since 1986, where he started as a holiday representative working with tourists in Spain, the Canary Islands and Turkey.  He then worked as a Flight Attendant in Upper Class with Virgin Atlantic Airways, meeting many interesting and famous people along the way. Brian was also a flight attendant for the Emir of Qatar on his private jets for four years, and owned a small hotel in the Trossachs area of Scotland. 

Brian’s philosophy is simple, “Customer service is king, treat everyone as an individual and as important as each other. In my eyes, there is no difference between the ruler of a country and a hard working couple looking for a relaxing break.”

Brian now tailors private tours of Scotland to suit your individual needs with an in-depth knowledge of this great country. We are launching ‘Small Group Tours of Scotland’ as well frm April 2026. “ We believe that there is a gap in the market for quality small group tours in spacious luxury customised vehicles”. 

Your customised private tour of Scotland benefits from Brian’s years of experience in the travel and customer service industries. Brian started with the idea of offering personal, bespoke tours for discerning clients, and it soon became apparent to him that there was a lot of demand for this service. He managed to gather some of the best tour guides in Scotland to join him, and Personal Tours of Scotland was born.

What are the pre-requisites for a top quality tour guide? Personality, approachability, great customer service skills, with the ability to think on their feet and of course, local knowledge. It’s pointless having a guide who knows every academic fact but can’t tell you the words of the “Jeely Piece” song!
