BACK
Have a great day out and let the experts show you the real Scotland. Journey back through our colourful and turbulent past, with descriptions of the people, their history, culture and legend.
NEW AIR CONDITIONED VEHICLE
The best way to experience Scotland is in a small group and Derek, your driver/guide, is a native Scot who has a passion for his country. His wide knowledge and experience sets Claymore Travel apart from the rest.
You will learn more about Scotland's turbulent history in one day with Derek than you could possibly discover travelling on your own. An interesting and informative commentary on Scotland's History, Culture, landscape, Wildlife etc. is provided as you travel.
We specialise in getting off the beaten track and our comfortable, air conditioned minibus enables us to get into the more remote areas where bigger buses cannot get to. We have been in the tour business since 1996 and would be happy to provide references from some of our satisfied customers.
A guided day tour by mini-bus, provides a great introduction to Historic Stirling, to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park or to a variety of locations throughout Scotland.
Guided mini-bus tours are available throughout the year for independent travellers and private groups.
