The Tours look great...Your site was the best all round site I found during my search.

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?

Shambellie House is a Victorian house located to the south of Dumfries at New Abbey. It has an interesting display of costumes, art and furniture with each room depicting a particular year. For example the Dining Room is set in 1895 while the Bedroom is from 1939. So it shows how fashion evolved between the 1850s and the 1950s.
Something to do on a rainy day.
The building is set amongst attractive gardens and there is an outdoor picnic table area beside the café that is in the basement of the house.
