Award-winning specialist tour operator creating holidays across Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales & The Channel Islands.

Experts in tailor-made travel for over 22 years. McKinlay Kidd, launched in 2003 by husband and wife team Robert Kidd and Heather McKinlay, is dedicated to helping independently-minded visitors get the most out of their holiday. We started out in true small-business style in the dining room of our (then) Edinburgh home, and now employ a team of more than a dozen, mainly based at our office in central Glasgow. From day one, our principle has been that we won’t send you anywhere we haven’t been ourselves. Initially we focussed on helping our customers to see Scotland differently, with a range of creative holiday suggestions that could be tailored to specific requirements. We added Ireland in 2010, England in 2016, Wales in 2018 and most recently the Channel Islands on 2022. Heather is half-Scottish, half-English, while Robert is Irish, and between the two of us we have lived for at least 20 years in each country. We started the company because we wanted to help visitors see beyond the landscapes and tourist hotspots of these lands, whether of our birth (England and Ireland) or our present-day home (Scotland). That’s what we mean by holidays made differently.
