If you've been to Scotland with us, you've likely been to the wee Writer's Museum. I always recommend it on free time. You can find it in Lady Stair's Close, which is home to a 17th century townhouse that was bought in 1719 by Elizabeth Dundas, Lady Stair. It's just one of a multitude of treasures. Come discover some with us! Booking for 2025 closes soon. TracelessTours.com

In the midst of everything going on here at home in North Carolina, I'm still excited about the upcoming tours. Armadale Castle on the Isle of Skye is a place some of my travelers get to visit, but they also have lovely guest accommodations right there on the grounds. Most of my groups are too large to stay there but my Women's Tour next year is not. Intentionally small, this is an intimate trip with friends. I can't wait! Some participants had to switch to other tours due to date conflicts so I have 2 double rooms available, May 29-June 7, 2025.

Tour to Scotland for Women, Summer 2025: Two rooms opened up due to guests needing to move to other tour dates. Who wants to join? This is a tour that I created because I always want to share special parts of Scotland with a small group of girlfriends. This is the best of both worlds: See Scotland with a guide and driver who know it well, have friends there and take care of all the details, while still being part of an intimate circle of travelers with a perfect balance of free and scheduled times.

Hi there fellow Travelers, I've been preparing the final details on next year's tours while dealing with clean up and clearing here in Western North Carolina. Times are tough, I'm not gonna sugar coat. Just beside our home, the historic Allen House, on Marshall's Main Street, is Story Cottage, our short term rental which was part of our income. It wasn't affected during the flood since it sits up much higher on the property. However, people won't be visiting Marshall again until the town and businesses open up. Our home is down to the studs and it will be sometime before we can renovate and move back in. However, Story Cottage will be available to rent beginning mid January so we are offering gift cards that would make perfect holiday gifts for yourself or a loved one. You can purchase by contacting me: [email protected]. I'd love to see you in my hometown in the coming months!

How to help NC, an upcoming show, and a continued story

10/01/2024

Dear friends, please keep my beloved Western North Carolina in your thoughts and prayers. It is a devastating situation, especially to see and experience firsthand. So many have lost all in the recent floods and many people are still missing. Steve and I Iost most everything in our home. We are not sure if the house, which is an historic home on Marshall, NC's Main Street, is salvageable but we are hopeful. For me personally, the sadness has been overwhelming, grieving the loss of photos and baby books and cherished heirlooms, even while knowing we are so very fortunate to have our family and furbabies safe. Most places are still without power and water and cell service. I'm answering emails for Traceless Tours but may be a bit slower. Thanks for keeping all affected in your hearts.

We'll see these pups again, all grown up, in the Spring when we visit their farm. To see working sheep dogs is always a highlight. They are amazing to watch in action 🐶❤️🐶

"I’m going back to Scotland with Traceless Tours in 2026, and you are invited! We’ll visit Skye, Lewis, Ullapool, Orkney, and Elgin. It’s a “photography tour” because we’re going to some of the world’s most beautiful and intriguing places, but there will also be music...history. The Scottish people will smile when they hear that you’re with Traceless Tours, a company that has been focused exclusively on Scotland for 27 years, putting money back into the hands of locals and environmental efforts." -Jonathan Byrd

And that's a wrap on the first island tour with Chuck Brodsky! A surprise guest was James Barrowman who met most of these repeat travelers on one of our previous tours. Our island tour Guide was behind the camera for the first pic with James in it but he's seen entertaining everyone in the second. Our next island tour starts in 3,2,1...

Hiking Tour to Scotland! I've waited a long time for this and sent out a feeler today for interest and there is! September, 2026. Let's go. 4 people just registered right after I published it. It's planned for a smaller group this time. Must be able to walk several miles a day, steady on your feet, some climbing and rocky paths, but oh my...the scenery will be spectacular! I hope you'll join.
