Hi! I'm Susanne, a native Scot who has spent my life walking, cycling, driving, flying and sailing around most of Scotland - not to forget the countless train and bus journeys that I've undertaken along the way!

My knowledge of Scotland is extensive and I'm just as familiar with the many hidden gems around the country as I am with the popular tourist spots.  Running a Scottish travel blog for over 7 years means I also have a huge amount of practical travel experience.

FEEDBACK FROM PREVIOUS CLIENTS
​

'If you are planning a trip to Scotland, I would highly recommend a consultation with Susanne Arbuckle. She gave us the exact information we needed to plan our trip and much more information to help us with our travels. Susanne is so knowledgeable and was a delight to meet. We can’t wait for our trip.'

- J.Stromwall, USA

'I stumbled upon Susanne Arbuckle by total chance.  What a lucky find!  Susanne offers a service that I wish was available world wide.  She, as a Scottish  traveler/blogger/guide recognized a need and has filled it, admirably and with finesse.  I scheduled a consultation and it was more helpful than I expected.  After the hour long zoom, I received a comprehensive written summary of what we had discussed.  What a valuable service and I highly recommend this investment! I just wish I could clone her for other areas of the world!'

- B.Summers, USA
"Susanne's depth of knowledge about Scotland is an absolute necessity for any trip. Not only is she a delightfully kind and wonderful person, but she takes into account your preferences and turns them into expert recommendations about what to see, where to explore, and where to eat! She also provided a detailed itinerary after our conversation which has been a truly invaluable resource. I can't imagine going this fall without her guidance!"

- M.Gallagher, USA
"My Husband and I recently visited Scotland for the first time. Visiting a foreign country can be a little intimidating particularly when trying to decide how to squeeze the maximum amount of exposure to the country and it’s culture into a short period of time. I would like to say how comforting it was to have an itinerary that was tailored specifically to our time, our budget, and our taste. Susanne did an amazing job of incorporating the information that she accumulated from the detailed questionnaire she sent to us into an entertaining and highly efficient visit for us. From accommodations, attractions, dining and local travel plans (trains, buses & trams) her itinerary could not have been more helpful. And we had a BLAST!"

- S.McCulloch, USA

​"Susanne was amazing to work with on reviewing my itinerary to Scotland in 2022.  As a USA resident, I appreciated that she went way above and beyond my expectations by making phone calls to local venues to make sure they would be open for my visit.  She took the extra time to ask me questions before reviewing my schedule so she could make thoughtful suggestions for alternative activities and give recommendations of restaurants.  I am so grateful to Susanne for her amazing work."

- M.Holder, USA
​"Susanne, Just wanted to let you know that the trip you set up for us was fabulous!
We were able to do and visit most of what you recommended, including the restaurants, pubs and local concerts. Also the driving times were perfect!
We went onto most of your hikes. We did visit Jura (and mingle with the local community at their fundraising baking contest!) but didn’t book your suggested tour as we decided only at the very last moment and barely made it to the ferry!  The final hike to Machrie Moor on Arran was magic.
​Thanks again. You did a really great job for us"


- D.Piacentini, USA
​"I was given three years to plan a trip to Scotland for my sister's 50th birthday. I began following travel bloggers immediately for ideas and help. When I found this blog I found not only tons of info, but also that Susanne was extremely friendly and helpful to all her followers and travel enthusiasts. Therefore when I saw she offered itinerary help I knew immediately that we would enlist her help once I had a rough draft. I cannot say enough how much stress it relieved and how many opportunities it opened up for us. She created a schedule for us that was flexible, offered plenty of options and loads of suggestions for each day and each place right down to pubs and shops. All of this was catered to our specific interests. I can't recommend her itinerary services enough. I certainly plan on getting another done for my next trip to Scotland! (Because of course I need to go back again one day) THANK YOU!!"
