Best of Scotland Holidays

Founded in 1983 by the Dewar family and still family-run today, Best of Scotland Holidays is one of Britain’s longest-established independent Destination Management Companies, bringing over four decades of expertise in crafting tailor-made travel across Scotland, England, Ireland, and Wales.

You benefit from a company that has grown from a small family-run business into a trusted partner for the travel trade while maintaining its core values of personal service, deep local knowledge, and attention to detail.

What sets Best of Scotland Holidays apart is a personal approach to creating authentic, immersive experiences. Through close collaboration with a network of small, local suppliers, you gain meaningful connections to the destinations you visit, from culture and heritage to food, landscapes, and community life.

As a DMC, Best of Scotland Holidays delivers flexibility, creativity, and a hands-on approach, designing bespoke itineraries that reflect your interests while supporting responsible tourism and local communities. The result is a seamless, personalised journey that delivers a genuine sense of place.

As a boutique family-run DMC with over 40 years of experience, Best of Scotland Holidays works with as many small and local providers of experiences and services as possible. In recent years, the company has formalised this commitment through Responsible Travel and Sustainability policies.

You can take a Responsible Travel approach by seeking experiences that provide a real sense of local culture, history, people, food, and drink. As interest in these experiences continues to grow, more small local businesses share their stories, knowledge, environment, and hospitality with visitors.

Best of Scotland Holidays collaborates with the local charity Fife Coast and Countryside Trust by providing a donation for every booking received at the end of each season. This contribution supports conservation work across more than 70 sites maintained by the charity.

Through this partnership, tourism gives back and creates a positive impact on the local environment, helping both visitors and local communities enjoy and protect these special places for generations to come.
