About Me

PLEASE NOTE: Due to an exceptionally busy season and for practical business reasons, for the rest of 2023 2024 financial year I shall only book Private and regular agent clients. I am now a dedicated Owner Driver Guide. I am not booking Coach tours, 'Step Ons' or cruise clients for this season. Sorry to be limited for this year and disappoint.


ScotLadd Tours (Davy Ladd) offers bespoke driver guided tours anywhere in mainland Scotland including the Western and Northern Isles. Extensions to England, Ireland and Wales can also be incorporated. Specialising in privately guided tours for small groups we explore our magnificent landscape and fascinating cities in ScotLadd’s own fully insured, modern, spacious and comfortable 8 seater minivan.


Davy Ladd will work with you to help develop an itinerary that is well paced and packed with those sights, sounds, tastes and experiences that match you interests. Tours can incorporate any of your special interests whether they are walking, natural history, ancestry, castles, food and of course Malt whisky appreciation, to name just a few. Just say what you want to include. ScotLadd can also offer help, advice and guidance on accommodation, dining recommendations, site visits and costs. With pride ScotLadd can recommend many of the unique experiences ‘off the beaten track’ often overlooked by scheduled tours and semi-professional unqualified drivers ‘acting as guides’ doing the usual ‘milk run’ tours. Davy has a large collection of enthusiastic complimentary testimonials from guests, now regarded as friends, collected every year and available for you to read.


If you are planning or thinking about a vacation in our wonderful country be sure to contact Davy to discuss your ideas and wishes with him. With his knowledge he can discuss the possibilities, plan and help cost your trip. Call or email ScotLadd. Expect a prompt response then hopefully book an enjoyable and memorable vacation in Scotland with ScotLadd Tours.


Regretfully please note I no longer offer coach based touring or touring that starts outside of Edinburgh or Glasgow areas for less than a two day continuous itinerary. Relocation charges for start and finish may also apply.
