The Tartan Army Just Took Over Boston.
Your Turn’s Next.
Two Scotland tours. One waitlist.
Early access and early-bird pricing before 2027 dates fill up.
This past few week, kilts, flags, and bagpipes turned an American city into an honorary corner of Scotland. If watching the Tartan Army take over Boston gave you chills — or made you finally say “I need to actually go there” — you’re not alone, and you’re in the right place.
I’m Karen, a travel advisor based right here in San Diego, and I’m building a small waitlist for two guided Scotland tours departing in 2027. Get on the list now for early access, first pick of dates, and pricing before the best departures fill up.
THE TWO TRIPS
🏰 Best of Scotland — 7 Days

WHY NOW?
Why join a waitlist for a 2027 trip?
Two honest reasons:
1. Pricing climbs as dates fill. Summer 2027 departures — the most popular window — go up in price the closer they get to selling out. Getting on this list early means you hear about pricing and availability before the general public does.
2. Secure your spot with a low deposit from $200 per person — full balance not due until 90–120 days before departure. Plus, book before September 30, 2026 to take advantage of current early-booking savings. No need to have everything figured out today — just get on the list.

Why plan this with me?
I’m a Travel Planners International and Signature Travel Network–affiliated travel advisor based in Little Italy, San Diego. I handle the planning, the logistics, and the “wait, do I need a passport renewal” questions — so you just have to show up and enjoy it.
My family heritage is based in Scotland and the bagpipe music calls me no matter where I am. Scottish culture is so welcoming and they have so much fun in daily life, I want to keep going back and I can’t wait to share it with you.
FAQ
Do I need a passport?
Yes — and if yours is expired or close to it, now’s a good time to start that process, since renewals can take a few months.
What’s the difference between the two trips, really?
The 7-day trip covers Edinburgh, the Highlands, and the mainland essentials. The 13-day trip adds the islands — Orkney, Skye, Mull, and Iona — for a deeper, more complete journey. Both start in Edinburgh and end in Glasgow.
Is this trip good for solo travelers?
Yes — both tours are well suited to solo travelers, with single room options available and a built-in group of fellow travelers to share the experience with.
When do I need to decide?
There’s no deadline to join the waitlist. But the earlier you lock in a deposit once you’ve chosen a date, the better your pricing and date selection will be — especially for summer 2027 departures.
What’s included in the price?
Accommodations, most meals (breakfast daily plus several dinners), an expert Travel Director and driver, all sightseeing and entrance fees listed in the itinerary, and ground transport throughout. Flights, travel insurance, and optional experiences are separate. If you want to add additional days to the trip we can help with that to, so the 7 day trip can easily become a 10 day trip, if you’d like.
Still deciding?
That’s exactly what the waitlist is for. Join now, tell us where you’re leaning, and we’ll help you figure out the rest.
