I would like to
share with you information on a great Scottish
garden tour and in my estimation the best tour
company in Scotland.
Having travelled with Mcleanscotland and being so
impressed with the quality of their tours and
services, I asked Paul Mclean to put together a
garden tour for me that would be for Texas Master
Gardeners, spouses, and friends. We had an
absolutely wonderful "Gardens and Glens of Scotland"
tour in June, 2005, and as one of our group members
said "it was a dream tour." One of our tour group
members and horticultural leader was Dale Groom, our
Dallas County, Texas, horticulture extension agent.
Paul Mclean and Liz Gillespie own Mcleanscotland
tour company located in Perth, Scotland. They know
the history and culture of their country so you come
home feeling that you have touched the heart and
soul of Scotland. Their standards, caring, planning,
integrity, professionalism, attention to details,
extra surprises not on the itinerary, tour notes,
and personal touches places them far above other
tour companies. Paul and Liz are wonderful to work
with and you will be in excellent, caring hands with
Mcleanscotland. In fact, due to requests to go back
and see the heather in bloom, Paul and I have just
finished putting together an "Islands and Highlands,
Castles and Glens - A Great Scottish Sojourn" tour
for 2007. It is a mix of castles, gardens, glens,
islands, and ancient sites.
Some other comments from our "Gardens and Glens"
tour members were: "the best tour ever and one I
will always remember," "tour was awesome,"
"fantastic," "loved all the personal touches," "we
were so well taken care of," "loved the
flexibility," "we were ever spoiled," "daily tour
notes were fantastic," "we learned so much about
Scotland."
Mcleanscotland will help you plan customized self
drive vacations, escorted vacations and group tours
of any size or you can choose from one of their
already planned tours. They provide wonderful daily
tour notes full of history and humor that are bound
and in a waterproof folder. The accommodations they
use are all approved by VisitScotland. In fact, the
last two years Mcleanscotland has been chosen to
conduct tours in Scotland for US travel agents
sponsored by VisitScotland which is quite an honor.
As I said before, you will be in excellent hands
with Mcleanscotland and I highly recommend them.
Thank you and beautiful gardening.
