New Travel Requirement for entry to UK 🪪
From 8th January 2025, the UK government is introducing an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) scheme, which is a digital permission to travel to the UK.
An ETA will cost £10 per applicant and will be linked to your passport. It will permit multiple journeys and will be valid for two years or until the holder’s passport expires, whichever is sooner.
If you arrive at the airport without the correct documents, you might not be able to fly.

Big thanks to #aquaxplore at Elgol on #skye for an amazing Rib boat trip out to Loch Scavaig and some epic Wildlife sightings including dolphins, porpoises and seals! What a day.
What a beautiful day for the Breamar Gathering yesterday on a day tour with Nancy and the team! You can’t beat the massed pipes and drums! What a setting. A very fleeting glimse of King Charles later in the day.
Amazing footage of a Bottlenose Dolphin with a salmon on tour today at Chanonry point…
That was a *belter! What a fantastic 6-day adventure with Mike and the clan this past week.
The main flavour of the tour was whisky, but golf, kilt fittings and a sprinkling of mischief was experienced along the way too!
Destinations visited on this tailored tour included: Edinburgh, Oban, Mull, Aberlour and St Andrews.

10 Years of Uniquely Scotland: A wee Q&A with Archie, our Founder 🏴
Q1. What's your most memorable moment on tour, so far? ✨
A: This is a very difficult one. There are so many memories and groups that stand out, and one of my favourite parts of the job (aside from showing people around this beautiful country) is the people that you meet and new friends you make. There are many moments that stand out; particularly ones that have moved me in some way. The first was being asked to guide someone around #Scotland as their last wishes (very difficult but humbling), and the second moment was witnessing a couple find a distant relatives headstone whilst on an #Ancestral Tours.

Q2. Which tour offered by Uniquely Scotland is your favourite, and why? ⭐
A: I do particularly like our 6-day Grand Tour of Scotland, which is our most popular driver guided tour. This carefully crafted route takes people on a journey of both the west and east coasts of Scotland, and gives people a really good flavour of what Scotland is all about. The route takes in many of Scotland’s highlights including the rugged west coast, the Isle of #Skye, the famous whisky region of #Speyside (one of my favourites) #HighlandPerthshire, #StAndrews and #Edinburgh – to name a few.

Q3. We know it's tough, but if you had to chose just one destination in Scotland, what's your favourite? 📍
A: That is tough! I can’t pick just one, but I have narrowed it down to 3… 1️⃣ Skye in particular the Black Cuillin mountains, 2️⃣ the rugged county of Argyllshire including places like #oban and Port Appin and 3️⃣ the more secluded county of #Angus and it picturesque glens (where I am originally from). We are spoilt for choice here in Scotland.

Q4. We know you love your Scotch #whisky, if you had to narrow it down to just one, what would your favourite dram be? 🥃
A: This is nigh on impossible to answer! I always give people my rotating top 3: #Balvenie,
