My Second Favorite

Dear Friends,
The world is so big and there are beautiful places and people to meet and enjoy. Scotland is on a lot of bucket lists and I love to help people tick that box, but it's not my favorite thing. What I love most is when they tick that box, then say "I wanna do it again" and sometimes, over and over again.
Just as we don't want you to only see Scotland through a coach window on our tours, we hope you won't travel the world that way either. A superficial visit is like a superficial friend. They fill a need but you miss the depth of connection and the lovely surprises found when you get to know them even better. Bonus: We learn more about ourselves through our connections with people and places. Go for depth. Go often. That's our Wee Wednesday Wisdom :).
About half of our tours are repeat guests. Once you travel with us, you're family. I always encourage my family to go places so I invite you to do the same. You can go anywhere of course, but how fun it will be when you travel to new parts of Scotland with us.
So, come on. We have new routes, new-to-you hotels with the most welcoming friends. We have new partners and new local guides and a whole lot to share with you. Some of our 2026 tours are Sold Out and a few only have one or two rooms left.Maybe one of them is for you!
Here are a few...

Islands for 2026:
Join us for aTelford's coach tour in partnership with our favorite driver, Glenn (double n). The Rugged Scotland tour is more of a budget-friendly experience and promises to be an epic adventure, with two nights spent on a ferry. We will visit Orkney and Shetland and even overnight in my Scotland hometown of Montrose. Here's the link: https://www.tracelesstours.com/tours/rugged-scotland-with-glenn-%26-raven

Have an idea?
Did you know we do tours that are not on our website? Groups contact us and already have their guest list ready to book so those are not open to the public. We customize these tours or retreats to their needs. Do you have a group, school, alumni, organization, company, old friends who like to travel together? Golf, fishing, reading, weaving, history, music, ancestry, conservation, Nature, a combination of those? We got you. Reach out. We'll create something special and, if you're the liaison who pulls the people in, you'll travel free.
Thanks for your notes, texts and emails checking in with me and sharing thoughts. I do my best to answer every one, but I don't always get back when I'm doing tours. I DO always appreciate you, though, and take your words to heart.
Hoping to see you in 2026. Reach out with any questions.
xo,
Raven
