Travel trade

Whether you’re planning on visiting castles, stately homes, glorious gardens, battlefields or some of our many other heritage attractions throughout Scotland, our travel trade team is here to help.

We welcome all travel trade enquiries, from simple information requests to bespoke themed tours. We can supply you with ideas, copy and quality images for your itineraries, organise familiarisation trips or arrange group bookings for our sites at the best price.

Weve put together a number of suggested itineraries to inspire you. By area or theme, you can incorporate elements from each to create your perfect trip.

We can help with the finer details, too, such as coach parking, refreshment stops, multi-lingual interpretation and tax-free shopping across all our attractions.

Special experiences

An increasing number of groups are looking for something more from their tour, perhaps learning a new skill, having exclusive access or gaining a rare insight from an expert. We offer a range of experiences that are available only to group bookings. These include behind-the-scenes and archaeological tours; private, out-of-hours castle visits; cookery, clansman and conservation demonstrations; and 1920s hickory golf, sea kayaking and ranger-led walks. Add our special experiences to your itinerary to give your clients even more memories to treasure.

We act as your single point of contact to make it as easy as possible for you to visit National Trust for Scotland places.
