The sheer amount of information that I got from Secret Scotland was incredible! They gave us everything from directions to photo ops to the best ice cream places, and they even found the closest grocery store to our timeshare.

I am delighted with my purchase of your Scenic Scotland 7 days tour, wish that I had found your website sooner. I would have saved many hours of uneducated web surfing and comparisons.

Would not have managed without Mike and Aurelia. Not a bad b&b or pub or restaurant and the directions spot on!

Over 100 pages with hundreds of links. It's an entire guide book! I truly am without words. I was expecting maybe 5-6 pages for each week. I have to say that I feel very, very guilty at the small amount we paid for the wealth of information you provided.

Truly exceeded our expectations. Their guidance through the 'roundabouts' and exact directions let us enjoy the landscape instead of being glued to a map.

We went to many of your suggested pubs and heard some absolutely incredible musicians. The B&Bs were all really nice, and your dining recommendations were just superb. Thank you again!

Your packet of information was so complete it was amazing. The information you gave not only included things to see and directions but you included the postal codes for our Garmin. How do you think of everything?

Mellerstain House is one of Scotland's grandest Georgian houses and was designed and built by William and Robert Adam, who also built nearby Floors Castle. It continues to be the residence of the Earl and Countess of Haddington.
The interior decoration is opulent in a way that only the Georgians knew how to do. The rooms retain their period colour schemes, with ornate ceilings, marble busts, lots of original furniture and a large collection of paintings by Van Dyck, Ramsay, Gainsborough and many more. See how the other half lived!
There are extensive parklands around Mellerstain house, including and Italian-styled terraced garden and a cute looking cottage with a thatched roof that looks like it should be in a fairytale book.
