We are aware of a small number of rogue tour operators who are soliciting customers online, often offering tours at bargain prices.

When you are researching tours, we recommend that you follow the following steps before committing:

• check online reviews on platforms like Tripadvisor. Multiple short reviews from new members is a sign of review fraud

• make sure that the operator is insured. By law they must have commercial insurance for their vehicle (not just ‘business use’) and must have public liability insurance. They should be willing to show evidence of insurance

• when possible, pay by credit card online. Never give your card details by message / email

• Tour companies that offer ‘per seat’ tours in vehicles of 9 seats or less are operating illegally

• most (but not all) legitimate tour guides are members of Scottish Independent Tour Operator Association or The Scottish Tour Guides Association

Happy touring!

Happy Summer Solstice to all that celebrate it.
The summer solstice has traditionally been an important time in Scotland and other northern countries, and we still celebrate the longest day of the year after the dark months of winter.
While in England, people flock to the sacred Neolithic site of Stonehenge, in Scotland we have our own traditions and spiritual, historic sites to visit.

Most of the history of solstice celebrations can be found in Orkney and Shetland, where there’s strong influence from Scandinavia where summer solstice is an important celebration.
Similar to the Beltane festivals of 1 May, which were celebrated in ancient Scotland and Ireland, summer solstice sees the use of torches and fire as a symbol of light defeating darkness.

Marking the midway point of the harvest season, many of the celebrations for summer solstice revolved around warding off evil spirits and bringing good fortune.

People would walk around their homes, fields and towns wielding torches to banish evil spirits, while protective plants such as St John’s Wort would be draped over doors or stashed under pillows to bring good luck.

The fern is also linked to good luck at summer solstice and according to mythology, it blooms for a short time on the eve of midsummer, bringing good fortune to those that find it.
Eating elderberries was also thought to protect against witchcraft, as the elderflower plant peaks around summer solstice. Some creatures are also thought to have curative qualities at this time of year, such as snakes and frogs.
