THE STORY
THE INDEX
Heritage
COACH TOURS
When I returned to Oban from sea where I was a Deck
Officer with a Foreign going Master Mariners Certificate,
one thing became very clear, being in the most beautiful
part of Scotland it seemed selfish not to share it or shout
about it, so Highland Heritage was born.
In 1976 I purchased my first hotel, the Royal Hotel in
Tyndrum, followed by the Dalmally Hotel not long after.
The yearning to build my own hotel eventually came to
fruition in 1992, with the completion of the Ben Doran
Hotel in Tyndrum, where the lounges on the top floor
make the most of the great views across the mountains.
The grand old Alexandra Hotel on Oban’s esplanade,
which was carefully and painstakingly renovated, was the
latest purchase in the Highland Heritage portfolio.
We are based in the heart of Argyll in the village of
Dalmally, from where our fleet of coaches and four
hotels are run. This is a great central point from where I
can keep a close eye on the entire goings on at Highland
Heritage. It also allows me the opportunity to spend time
with our guests and sometimes enjoy a tour with them,
hearing first-hand how they are enjoying their holiday.
Our philosophy is simple and focused on combining
unbeatable value for money with unforgettable visitor
experiences and high standards of customer care. The
constant stream of positive customer testimonial we
receive is all the validation we seek.
We are also proud to say that Highland Heritage has
won many accolades over the years. This shows the
great sense of ownership by everyone involved, which is
why we are known across Scotland for the immaculate
presentation of our coaches, hotels and superb gardens.
If you haven’t been on tour with us yet or even if you
have, we would love to welcome you to Highland
Heritage. Here you can find all the information you need
on our hotels and our wide ranging tours.
No matter what you choose, I am sure you will leave us
with many happy memories.
Best wishes

WHAT
Heritage
COACH TOURS
IS NEW
In the course of every year we continuously
measure and assess all our operating
procedures to check that they are working as
designed and ensure that they are not out of
date in any way. E.g. we have looked at how
to improve communication between guests
and management to ensure that a record of all
requests is properly documented and actions
implemented as quickly as possible.
We have also added another choice to our
daily menus to help cater for all tastes.
On the touring side I have introduced two
new tours which do not include the Highland
Concert. This allows the tours to cover
Loch Ness and more east side of Scotland
destinations. These are Classic Scotland and
Treasures of Scotland.
Probably our biggest change is to include all
excursions in 2015 – so no optional tours.
We are also working hard on all aspects of
quality to ensure that value for money is
always the very best available. 99% of our
clients think we are very good value for
money.
We have also included quiet rooms in all the
hotels with free Wifi. This means that the
snooker tables have had to go! Except at the
Alexandra!! Sorry Lounge Lizards!!
WHAT IS INCLUDED
•Return coach transport from your local
pick-up point to Scotland.
•Dinner, bed and breakfast - daily.
•Quiet lounge with free WiFi.

THE TEAM
Heritage
COACH TOURS
The ‘Team’ range across a
very broad spectrum of skills.
When you inhabit a remote
geographical location, doing
everything ‘in-house’ is a must
if it is to be done quickly and
on time.
Practically everyone lives-in
at the Hotels or, if not, close
by, and we are all on round
the clock call to ensure that
everything runs seamlessly
and well.
In the Hotels there is a
Hotel Manager who runs
everything. They have a
Receptionist and a team of
General Assistants who look
after the bedrooms and all
meal service for you.
In the Hotels we operate
all our own kitchens with
highly trained and motivated
chefs, all with International
experience, and a hard
working team of Kitchen
2
Assistants who do all the
cleaning and preparation,
(they also double as porters!!)
Then, of course, there is the
Gardener who looks after all
the Hotel gardens and the
production of all our indoor
and outdoor plants and
displays. Next, we have the
Company Engineer who fixes
everything from vacuums to
garden machinery and broken
toasters!
The Company Painter floats
between Hotels, keeping
everything spick and span. He
is inside in Winter and outside
from Spring to Autumn. Then
there is the Laundry ‘Maid’
who has a really big job on
her hands and finally, we
have a Relief Chef and Relief
Manager.
Don’t let’s forget the Office
Team who work shifts 9.00
am to 10.00 pm, every day.

FLEET
Heritage
COACH TOURS
AND COURIERS
Our fleet of modern, fully
air-conditioned Van Hool
supercoaches are equipped
with all the comforts that
make touring a real pleasure.
The superior specification
includes the best moquette
and leather seats, and our
drivers take great pride in the
cleanliness of their coaches.
The vehicles are powered
by superbly efficient, low
emission, Volvo diesel
engines and the suspension
is electronically controlled
in all directions, giving an
extraordinarily smooth ride
wherever you sit.
In order to ensure our tours
run smoothly, it is important
that we follow the carefully
planned timetables precisely
and ask guests to read the
blackboard in reception each
morning and night to check
the schedule.
The coaches are closely
monitored at all times by
a satellite tracking system,
which helps with the efficient
management of each vehicle.
Journeys do not usually
exceed two hours between
stops and, on all trips, there
are regular comfort breaks.
At every stop, the driver will
tell you where and when to
rejoin the coach. It’s always a
good idea to be a few minutes
early, as it’s a long way back
to the hotel if you miss the
coach!
All our couriers undergo
an annual training seminar
in February each year. This
includes driving techniques,
safety, new regulations
and first aid etc. They are
also briefed on any new
destinations and routes.

GARDENS
Heritage
COACH TOURS
With four large properties
and around 20 acres of land
to keep, it would be fair to
say that the Head Gardener
has more than his work cut
out for him!
There are 500 hanging
baskets, and 2,000 tubs and
barrels, not to mention about
5 acres of grass to cut. This
means a well organised
department to plant, fertilise,
clean, spray and display the
plants and use the spare time
to cut grass at least once a
week in summer.
Everything depends on a
backup nursery at Dalmally
which is the base for
machines, propagation and
the rearing of plants in three
massive poly tunnels which
have their own heating,
lighting and ventilation
system.
In Spring, we take in and
pot up about 20,000 annual
plants. These fill the baskets
and tubs from April until
November and are displayed
to advantage all around
the four hotels. The inside
plants are mainly perennial
and get continuous tender,
loving care from both the
hotel manager and the head
gardener. Everything gets
well fed here!!
All the windows are lined
with plants in the public
areas and conservatory areas,
and there is an individual
plant in every bedroom in
your hotel. Stunning!
The garden department also
looks after the ‘green’ side
of the business. We have
a paper shredder and the
mulch produced we mix
with any vegetable matter,
leaves and grass that we can
get our hands on. It saves ten
big wheelie bins a week.

HOW
Heritage
A TOUR WORKS
COACH TOURS
For those who have never
toured Scotland with us before,
this is what you can expect from
your Highland Heritage holiday.
Having selected the tour that
departs from your nearest pickup point on the date you wish
to travel, all you have to do is
board the transfer coach and sit
back and enjoy the ride. From
that point onwards, we’ll take
care of everything for you.
Every day you can look forward
to a wonderful excursion. The
coach departs promptly after
breakfast and proceeds to the
first port of call for morning
coffee. This is usually a place
of interest, but may simply be
a comfort break on a longer
journey – to Edinburgh, for
instance.
what time the coach will leave
for the afternoon sightseeing
excursion.
On returning to the hotel
(usually two hours before
dinner) you have plenty of time
to get ready for dinner and enjoy
a leisurely pre-dinner drink.
Everyone gathers in the dining
room just before 7.00pm, when
dinner is served. We pride
ourselves on our efficient service
so that everyone can be in the
lounge for coffee in good time
for the evening’s entertainment,
which starts at 8.30pm.
On every tour, (except Christmas,
Twixmas and New Year, Treasures
of Scotland or Classic Scotland),
we run a very special Highland
Day which is held in either
Oban or Fort William. This gives

pleased to tell you that

Treasures of Scotland and

On this day we depart for
Oban or Fort William at
the normal time and enjoy
the trip through the glens
and by the lochs, to our
destination. You have two
or three hours to enjoy the
sights, have some lunch
and then be taken to the
local venue for the superb
afternoon Highland Concert
by ‘Skipinnish’, who are a
well known and loved local
group who have numerous
TV and radio appearances to
their credit. Supplementing
the Band will be a mix of
accomplished pipers, dancers
and singers. Several of the
DAY AND CONCERT
individual performers are
stars in their own field
and are in great demand
throughout Scotland,
particularly at weddings
where they can earn eyewatering fees for their
excellent services.
Almost all of them come
from remote communities in
the West Highlands and the
Hebridean Islands. Angus,
the leader, comes from
the Island of Tiree. He is
most grateful for the online
support the band received at
the “Trad” music awards this
year.
Immediately after the concert
we depart for the Hotel and
get ready for the Candlelit
Highland Day Dinner.
This is a joyful day which
everyone will appreciate and
remember. Everyone gets a
‘Glengarry Bonnet’ to wear at
dinner to add to the fun!

in the Capital City and the
Glories of Loch Lomond and
spectacular Oban Bay.
The first adventure takes us
through Strathfillan and by the
wild pass of Glen Ogle to the
Forth Valley passing Stirling

surely the most spectacular
capital city in Europe.
The ancient medieval castle is
perched high above the city

the Kelpies on the Motorway
in one direction and also cross
the Forth Road Bridge with its

The next adventure takes in
Loch Lomond, renowned in
verse and song by the bards of
old, who have eulogised about
its beauty and tranquillity
across the ages.
Nowadays we have a very
modern visitor centre in a
spectacular location at the
extreme south end of the loch.
There are outstanding views
from Drumkinnon Tower, good
places to eat and some very
fine shops to visit. We join your
inclusive loch cruise at the
Tower and take a very pleasant
and scenic voyage to the islands
and inlets of Loch Lomond.
Lots of wildlife and spectacular
mountain scenery to enjoy.
Oban Piers
The final excursion takes us
by Glen Orchy and Loch Awe,
passing Kilchurn Castle and on
to Loch Etive and Dunstaffnage
Castle and Marina across the
bay.
We arrive at Oban making the
spectacular descent down to
the seafront. Oban is always
fascinating with non-stop
activity on the water and at the
Ferry Port and Fish Quays. You
have plenty of time for lunch,
then you are transported to the

I have introduced this
exciting new tour for the
summer season to bring
you closer to the old way
of life and the varied
accomplishments and
achievements of years gone
by. The excursions also
take you through some of
the best of both Highland
and Lowland Scenery
and introduce you to the
modern face of Scotland on
the Clyde where the crisp
shining glass and stainless
steel architecture adorn both
the old ship building and
commerce areas which house
the glories of our past.
The first excursion takes us
across Perthshire via Loch
Tay and the Tay River Valley,
all the way to Kirriemuir and
on to Glamis Castle, the home
of our much admired and
sorely missed Queen Mother.
The Castle is also a home
which contains priceless
memorabilia and artefacts
from the Royal Houses. A

sure you get round as many
as you can because it is a

TESTIMONIALS

COACH TOURS
“Just to say a big thank you to everyone at the Royal for a great 5
day break. We thoroughly enjoyed the tours, entertainment, meals
and the cheerfulness of the staff who all work extremely hard. Must
also mention Joe, our courier and driver, who gave his all to make
the tours interesting and enjoyable.”
Mrs Smithard and Ms Bailey
“We have just come back from one of the best holidays in Scotland.
Please thank Bryan and his staff at the Alexandra Hotel, the service
and food was fantastic, and please thank John, our driver, he was
also fantastic with his jokes and information. We are looking
forward to our next holiday at the Royal.”
Mrs Parker
“A few days ago I returned from my first visit to Scotland and one
of your beautiful Hotels, the Ben Doran. My partner and I usually
have five short breaks a year but I must say this was our best ever,
your staff were excellent. We enjoyed the entertainment, in fact we
have never had better on holiday. We look forward to coming again
next year and we have told our friends so our party will increase.
Many congratulations to you all for all the effort you put in for
making our stay so memorable”
Mrs S Monte
“Thank you for our stay in Oban from 2nd June to 6th June, good
trips out, beautiful scenery, good meals that suited us both and a
fine bunch of staff. Bryan did an excellent job of looking after us. We
hope to book in the near future.”
Mr & Mrs Gardner
“I am writing to let you know how much we enjoyed one of your
Highland Heritage Coach Tour holidays. I must congratulate
on your choice of staff in ‘The Royal’ Alex and his crew were
exceptional. They really went out their way to make sure all our
needs were cared for, and the food would put some of London’s top
eateries to shame.”
Mr M Evans
“I had to put pen to paper just to say thank you for the best holiday
my Husband and I have ever had. We have been on lots of coach
tours but this one we really enjoyed the best, we stayed at the Royal
Hotel in Tyndrum, ‘Best of Scotland’ tour. The Hotel and Staff
were really great and the drivers were very good & informative on
everything. We will be going with you again and looking forward to
it.”
Mrs P McFerran

“I would like to express a belated thank you for the wonderful stay
at the Dalmally Hotel. The accommodation, the food, the company of
our fellow guests, and the evening entertainment was excellent. We
hope to travel with Highland Heritage again soon.”
Mr & Mrs Neilson
“A big thank you and your helpful staff. Just had 4 wonderful nights
with you and everything was excellent and that lovely finishing
touch where a lady rang to check we got home safely. Thank you
once again”
Mr & Mrs Kornas
“Just one week today since my wife and I returned from the excellent
West Coast tour of Scotland, provided by Highland Heritage,
staying at the Royal Hotel Tyndrum. The holiday was everything
you promised, and the weather incredible.
Where to begin with the ‘thank you’. If I was to say from my first
contact with members of your reservation team when booking the
holiday, to disembarking home at the end of the holiday, all members
of your staff my wife and I met in between deserve a big ‘thank you.’
You have a workforce who are a credit to your Company, and I trust
you are a person who appreciates them and leads by example.
Although I made my thoughts known to Alex and staff at the Royal
Hotel, plus Darren ‘courier ‘I would be happy for you to cascade my
letter down to all involved.”
Mr P Griffiths
“I had to write to say thank you for our amazing holiday at the
Dalmally Hotel. This was our first experience of touring and we
did not know what to expect. We enjoyed every moment of it. The
staff were friendly and helpful in every way. The food was good, the
rooms and hotel clean and well appointed. George, our driver, was
brilliant - friendly, funny and full of knowledge on all the places we
visited. The entertainment was second to none.
This experience of touring left us in no doubt that we will be
booking another tour with your company next year and we will be
recommending you to our family and friends.
So would you please say a big thank you to all your staff and drivers
at the Dalmally for making our first experience of touring one that
will stay with us for a long time!”
Mr & Mrs Markwell
We will be booking soon for the VBOS holiday in 2015 which says
it all!”

TRAINING
Heritage
AND AWARDS
COACH TOURS
Almost all our staff come
to us through the internet
nowadays. I have no doubt that
this has brought on a ‘golden
age’ for our hotel staffing. We
get people of the best quality
from not only the UK, but also
Europe and the five continents.
I frankly believe we have
never had such hard-working,
kind and good people. We do
‘on the job’ training with a
system run by the individual
Managers – the better the
training – the easier and better
the hotel runs!! (vested interest
you see!!). All staff are either
G.A.’s (General Assistants)
or Kitchen Assistants but can
often move from one to the
other on demand.
Practically all our staff
live in excellent en-suite
accommodation near the
hotel. One or two graduate
to the gardening department
each summer. The Hotels also
employ their own painters and
handyman who also live-in.
The handyman ‘Krzysztof ’
is a full blown engineer who
makes everything work. The
painters will paint anything
that doesn’t move.
The gardeners, painters,
handyman and the local
joiners are all directed by
“himself”, and report daily
to him. Everything looks
good and the systems work
to perfection, and that is the
secret to the winning of these
various, national awards of
which we are very proud.

This area abounds with game,
both on land and in the rivers,
lochs and seas around us. Red,
roe and fallow deer are seen
daily; there are otters in the
rivers and on the sea shore. Fish
abound in the rivers and lochs,
particularly salmon, trout, perch
and pike.
Very large trout abound in Loch
Awe (30 lb best!!) It is common
to see hedgehog, fox, mink, stoat
and weasel, and there are rabbits
and hares everywhere. At night
wildcat and polecat are about
and the gamekeepers often see
the pine marten in the woods.
In the air we have representatives of almost all migratory
birds and also British based
land and sea birds. With all this
around there are also the great
predators, such as golden eagles,
sea eagles, peregrine falcons,
buzzards, sparrow hawks,
merlin, osprey etc.
On the land there is a superb
show of wild flowers, varying by
location from the sea shore to the
mountain tops and the glens in
between.
This area is a naturalists paradise
and what is rare elsewhere is
relatively common here. Here are
a few pictures which speak for
themselves, so much better than
mere words.
In the surrounding sea lochs
and coastal areas we have an
abundance of seals, dolphins,
minke whales, basking sharks,
orcas and, most surprisingly, we
had an enormous sperm whale
in Oban Bay in Spring 2013, see

FIELDS
COACH TOURS
Cononish Glen in Summer
The mine is at the head of
Cononish Glen, about 3 miles
from Tyndrum. Production
was expected to start this
year, but another collapse
of the gold price meant that
investors took fright! Again!
I am sure it will happen, but
you must never bet the farm
on a gold mine – our gold
mine is the best soap opera
going!
The mountains and lochs
have been hewn by the
succession of ice ages, leaving
a wonderful wild Highland
landscape. This is the location
of an enormous motherlode of
gold and precious metals.
Highland Heritage hotels
are uniquely set within these
Scottish Goldfields and Loch
Lomond National Park, an
area rich in Sites of Special
Scientific Interest (SSSI).
Ian Cleaver remembers first
seeing raw gold ore as a boy,
when living in Auch Glen
where there is an exposed reef
on one of the mountains and
stretching across the rocky
river bed of the Kinglas river.
At that time, no-one thought
it was worth pursuing – apart
from a quiet little group of
‘fossickers’ who’ve been
panning the local rivers for
years, earning enough to pay
for their holidays and make
rings for their wives and sweet
hearts.

However, all that changed
about 15 years ago, when
viable gold reserves were
discovered all around the

I have always been conscious
that bedrooms are at the very
heart of any holiday and it is
essential that they are warm,
comfortable and stylish. Not
only that, they need to be
roomy and have good quality,

We have always been ahead
of the game in bedroom size
and quality.
In 2012 we introduced a

a much higher standard

ENTERTAINMENT
COACH TOURS
Every evening we have an
entertainer on from 8.30 pm
to 10.30 pm. They vary in
style and content and cover
the broad spectrum of tastes
which typify our clientele.
Some of the lads do stand-up
comedy, some sing and some
play music only. We have a
group who do a cabaret show
and another couple who play
dance music.
On top of all this there is
Highland Day with our
concert for everyone, on
one day of the holiday. We
expect and get a lot of foot
stamping from beautiful and
athletic Highland dancers
and of course, the great
tunes of the pipes. All this is
accomplished by Skipinnish,
ably led by Angus – great
singers and musicians of a
fully professional standard.
54
Highland Day is unique to
Highland Heritage and a real
treat. It is held in Oban or
Fort William.
Throughout your tour our
team of Couriers will keep
you abreast of the history
and dark deeds of the past
as you traverse the glens and
loch sides. They are mines of
information.
One or two very brave lads

a wise thing to do if you
happen to have 59 ladies out

AND BAKERY
COACH TOURS
The baker at work
Each year we revise the menu
to reflect up to date tastes
and preferences. All the Chefs
sit down for around three
days to discuss our cooking
methods and exchange ideas.
The Managers also chip in
here with suggestions on
the service and presentation.
It all adds up to sleek, fast
service and piping hot,
delicious food.
The menu is practically the
same at each hotel and we
use only traditional methods
and good British food
sourced, as far as is practical,
in Scotland.
With everyone served at the
same time, the food is cooked
to a strict timetable “just in
time” and so is served as
fresh as is humanly possible.
None of this cook/chill
nonsense!!
Each hotel is fully licensed
and the bars are open from
6.00 pm to 11.30 pm. We
have a very good selection of
bottled beers and also lager
and beer on tap, cash only.
On the wine side, you may
purchase a bottle of wine and
take it to the dining room or
you can take a glass along to
‘help the digestion’ (I’ve so
heard it described). The bar is
closed during meal service.

or expense suffered by clients because of their late arrival at
any departure point. If you arrive late at the pick up or if the
Highland Heritage coach has been delayed then you must
phone 01838 200444 immediately.
d) You must ensure that you have a valid passport and visas
(if necessary) and we cannot be liable for any loss or expense
suffered if you do not.
e) Although our vehicles have large luggage compartments,
we have to adhere to regulations concerning the overall
weight of fully laden vehicles along with Health & Safety
Executive lifting regulations.
We would, therefore, ask that you restrict your luggage to
one medium sized suitcase of maximum weight 15 kilos - it
is a condition of travel that any items over and above this are
notified, in writing, to Highland Heritage and this includes
collapsible wheelchairs. Suitcases, and their handles, must
be fit for purpose. Note: Battery driven chairs, vehicles or
scooters cannot be accepted where HSE lifting guidelines are
breached or where re-assembly/dis-assembly is required. It
is your responsibility to ensure that your luggage is on board
the coach on which you are travelling. Please ensure that any
instructions given by our driver and/or courier, at any time
during the holiday, are strictly adhered to.
f ) Smoking is not allowed on any Highland Heritage
coach or Hotel. If you ignore this rule and thereby cause
any inconvenience, distress or disappointment to other
passengers, you may be asked to leave the holiday. See Rights
of Refusal, Smoking on a coach or in a public place is illegal.
g) In the event of contact being made with Highland
Heritage by the passenger on any subject whereby the
information in this brochure is changed or additional
information given, the passenger must ensure that the
information given is confirmed to them in writing. No
responsibility will be accepted for any loss, damage or
disappointment if this procedure is not followed.
h) Whilst every effort is made to adhere to the times stated
in this brochure, there could be circumstances beyond our
control, such as weather and traffic conditions which may
cause delays.
i) At the time of printing we have been advised of additional
consumer levies which may affect holidays in this brochure.
j) If such a levy is introduced during the validity of this
brochure, it will be shown as a separate item on your invoice
and not be subject to our surcharge guarantee. Variations in
VAT will be similarly included.
k) Excursions are included in the price of this holiday and
refunds cannot be made for passengers not wishing to go on
these excursions.
RIGHTS OF REFUSAL. We must point out that Highland
Heritage reserve the unconditional right to terminate a
passenger’s holiday in the event of them contracting, or
is suspected of contracting, a contagious condition. This
includes travelling companions who may have become,
or are likely to become, infected due to exposure to a viral
condition. Highland Heritage reserve the unconditional
right to refuse a booking or terminate a passenger’s holiday
in the event of unreasonable conduct which in our opinion
is likely to cause distress, damage, danger or annoyance
to other customers, employees, property or to any third
party. This includes any passenger who fails to advise us of
any medical condition or disability in accordance with the
paragraph below. If you are prevented from travelling as
a result of such termination, or your holiday is curtailed,
our responsibility for your holiday there upon ceases. Full
cancellation charges will apply and we will be under no
obligation whatsoever for any refund, compensation or
loss you may incur. Any person having or contracting, or
in Highland Heritage’s reasonable belief that they have or
may have contracted a serious contagious condition, will
be repatriated at the company’s discretion together with
any person sharing a room with such a person. Highland
Heritage Ltd cannot undertake to provide nursing care for
any person who contracts, or is suspected of contracting,
a contagious condition and such persons will therefore be
repatriated. Uninsured persons will be responsible for their
own repatriation costs and 100% cancellation charges will
apply.
PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES. We welcome bookings
from people with disabilities. We carry out an annual
assessment of the accessibility of our tours and holidays to
disabled people and our compliance with all disabled rights
legislation (a copy of the assessment is available on request).
However, it is in the nature of our tours that sometimes,
there are no reasonable means or adjustments that can
be made so as to accommodate every type of disability
and for that reason we ask that any disability, allergy or
intolerance, must be highlighted by forwarding a letter with
all details to Highland Heritage. You must ensure that the
letter is acknowledged. We stress that we cannot guarantee
any requests that are made. If we are not informed in this
way we cannot be held responsible for any inconvenience
or costs incurred by the client and this may include our
refusal to take you on holiday or to complete your holiday
arrangements. Please note: 100% cancellation charges would
apply in these circumstances. You should also be aware that
although our hotels cater for wheelchairs, there may still be
steps or stairs to contend with - this will also apply to places
visited on excursions. It is essential for the enjoyment of
your holiday and from a Health & Safety point of view in
the unlikely event of an emergency evacuation of the coach,
that all passengers without exception are able to board
and disembark the coach and walk its length unassisted.
Passengers who require one-to-one assistance must be
accompanied by an able bodied carer as the company
employees are unable to offer assistance of a personal nature.
Note: Battery driven chairs, vehicles or scooters cannot be
accepted where HSE lifting guidelines are breached or where
re-assembly/dis-assembly is required.
SEVERE ALLERGIES. We cannot guarantee the absence of
substances, such as nuts, which may cause severe allergic
reaction. Allergies (including allergic reaction to hand
sanitisers) must be declared at booking and confirmed
under separate written cover. We will confirm receipt in
writing.
COMPLAINTS. If for any reason you think that the coach
or the Hotel are not carrying out this Contract, you must
state your complaint immediately to the Courier, or in the
Hotel, then the Manager. You must follow this up with
a written letter explaining your complaint to the Hotel
Manager on the same day. This will be acted upon by us.
DRESS CODE. The Company operates a minimum dress
code policy. This essentially prohibits the wearing of vests,
football tops, beach shorts, Shell suits and working jeans etc.
in the public areas of the hotels and on board the coaches.
Tailored slacks and smart jeans, shorts and shirts with a
collar are fine as are polo shirts and roll neck sweaters,
except that shorts must not be worn after 6 pm in the public
areas.
HAND GEL. Use of the company’s proprietary hand gel or
foam is mandatory in hotels, dining rooms and coaches.
SCOTTISH LAW. This contract is made on the terms of
these booking conditions which are governed by Scottish
Law and both parties shall submit to the jurisdiction of
Scottish Courts at all times.
DEMANDS AND NEEDS STATEMENT. This travel
insurance policy will suit the Demands and Needs of

pre-existing medical conditions, are travelling to countries
