Whisky Galore

With so many distilleries each unique in the art of production and taste, there’s no shortage of great whisky. At Glenkinchie distillery the whisky is commonly referred to as the “Edinburgh Malt”, for its proximity to the city.

Glengoyne Distillery in the Trossachs has a very distinct ‘slow whisky-making’ process, an unhurried production from copper pot stills to oak cask ageing. Speyside in the north is famed for being ‘whisky territory’, home to over half of Scotland’s distilleries including the iconic Glenfiddich, Glenlilvet and Macallan.

A connoisseur’s paradise, don’t forget your hip flask. You might only ever come to Scotland once, or you may be on a pilgrimage.

Hi, I’m Ian, and welcome to Best of Scotland Custom Tours.

It’s great to have you here! If you’re looking for an accredited chauffeur guide to share the best of Scotland with you, stay put to discover my services and the benefits for you. I’m an accredited Scottish Blue Badge tourist guide, which means I’ve gone through some pretty stiff training and made it through the other side. I specialise in tailoring bespoke, entertaining, and professionally informative chauffeur-guided tours throughout Scotland at a balanced and relaxing pace.

Touring Scotland with visitors is my passion, and after many years of exploring, I’ve built up my own extensive guidebook of wonderful places to visit, hidden gems you won’t find in typical guidebooks, and fascinating people to meet along the way.

Here is some reviews from all my happy customers...

We had a really good day learning a lot about Scottish history, whisky, etc. We went on a tour with Ian Linn. We will strongly recommend him to others searching for a guide and driver for a tour. I am planning a tour in October with another group and will contact Ian to help me arrange it.

Christer Olsson, Sweden

Absolutely five star. Knowledgeable and personable. Please add our names to the long list of folks singing the praises of Ian Linn. We had the pleasure of a half-day walking tour of Edinburgh on 17th June. Absolutely five star. Knowledgeable and personable, a pleasure with whom to spend time. He definitely should get a raise! Since Scots were the first to do cloning, perhaps that’s a solution! Again, thanks, Ian

Royse Smith and Hal Davey, USA

My husband and I returned a little over a week ago from our trip to Scotland. It was outstanding due to our tour guide , Ian Linn.

That was GOOD STUFF. It was an unforgettable guided tour to the Orkney Island . And it was possible thanks to Ian Linn, who tailor-made a personalized tour as we’ve never had before. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy new views and places in Scotland but with all that made us feel so comfortable: jokes, Scottish soundtracks, fun stories and epic moments. That was GOOD STUFF!
