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.
