Are you of Scottish ancestry and looking to discover you roots in the Scottish Highlands?

Some visitors have been able to trace specific ancestors back to Scotland, however for many visitors it is a family name that is the main link back to Scotland - Macdonald, MacLeod, MacKenzie, MacLean, MacRae, Grant and Fraser are just some of the many Scottish surnames that help people connect with an area and clan in the Scottish Highlands.

Let us take you to the ancient lands of your ancestors. We can design a private ancestry tour based around your Scottish Highland family connections. Please note we generally focus on clans from the Scottish Highlands, particularly from the WestHighlands.

While we do not offer genealogy research services, we can arrange visits to local historical societies, genealogy experts and archive centres, such as the new Inverness Archive Centre (a treasure trove of information about the Highlands), as part of an ancestry tour.

Interested in finding out about your guide’s (John Macdonald) Scottish family history?

I’ve been working on my family tree for a couple of years and I am now back to the late 1790’s (evidenced) with a plausible (but not proven) story possibly linking us back to the 1660’s and one of the great Macdonald clans! - and a rather infamous incident!
