About Douglas Brothers

Designed on the ground, by people who live here

Anyone can book a hotel. Knowing which one, in which week, and what to do with the days in between is the part that takes years.

That judgement is what you are buying. Where to be at first light, which table is worth holding, which drive justifies itself and which does not. Tell us what you want from your time here and we will build it around you.

On the ground
We live here and we keep going back. Nothing is recommended from a brochure, a search result or a photograph.
Years behind it
Bespoke trips arranged across Scotland and the wider UK, for people who will do this once and want it right.
Nothing off the shelf
No fixed packages, no set departures, no two itineraries alike. Yours begins from a blank page.

It starts with a free 20-minute call. We would rather understand the trip properly before quoting for it.

Service Levels

How involved we get

The trip itself is always built from scratch. What changes here is how much of the arranging we take off you, and whether we are with you once you arrive.

 

Planned

A complete itinerary, designed around your group.

Where to stay, where to eat, what to do and how you travel between it all, researched and set out day by day with the reasoning behind every choice. You book it yourself, at your own pace, with our recommendations to work from.

Our usual recommendation

Managed

Everything in Planned, arranged and booked on your behalf.

Hotels, transfers, tee times, tables and guides confirmed before you arrive, so nothing is left for you to organise. Someone to call while you're here if something needs sorting.

 

Accompanied

Everything in Managed, with one of us travelling alongside you.

Driving, handling the day to day, and dealing quietly with whatever comes up before it reaches you. A small number of these each year, planned well in advance.

Pricing depends entirely on the trip, so we quote each one individually after we have spoken. The call is free and there is no obligation to book.

Get in Touch
