Driver needed in Scotland in late May 2018
« on: April 09, 2018, 03:02:20 PM »
A most unusual request from America -

Quote
Completely off my favorite rock gardening topic -- my best friend is desperate to find a driver for four folks for a late May  trip to Scotland.  Any leads would be appreciated.  Anything that keeps her husband from driving on any side of the road, especially the opposite, will be good for Scotland!

Does anyone know of a company offering  hire cars with drivers - or someone with a clean licence and a love of driving and Scotland who  would be interested in chauffering these  visitors around on their Scottish holiday?

Google found a number of companies that appear to offer such a service.  This one https://www.chauffeurtourscotland.co.uk/ was top of the list.
Almost in Scotland.

Thanks Alan - yes, I've sent them a list of  companies found advertising - I am hoping for a personal recommendation for them.

Hi maggi,
             I have a good friend who has just started a highland tour company in Inverness if they are in this area. I would definitely recommend her. Not sure what area she covers but Alison might be able to help. https://www.facebook.com/hielanquinetours.co.uk/ She used to work for me and is really enthusiastic and a really good laugh and I reckon would be a great guide. Hope all is well with you. Good to see Ian yesterday and hopefully see you at the Aberdeen Show.
