A Bespoke Genealogy Tour is a personalized journey through Scotland, meticulously designed to connect you with your ancestral roots. We research your family history, identify key locations your ancestors lived, worked, or significant events occurred, and then craft a unique itinerary for you to explore these places. It's more than just a tour; it's an immersive experience into your family's past.
We begin with an in-depth consultation to gather all the information you already know about your family. Then, Fiona MacGregor, our experienced genealogist, conducts thorough research using Scottish archives, historical records, land deeds, census data, and various online databases. We aim to build a comprehensive picture of your lineage and identify significant ancestral sites.
Your tour locations are entirely dependent on your family history! This could include ancestral homes, local churches, graveyards, ancient clan lands, historical battlefields, or even the towns and villages where your forebears lived and worked. We also incorporate relevant historical sites and cultural experiences to enrich your understanding of the era your ancestors lived in.
Absolutely! Our tours are designed to be shared experiences. Bringing family members or friends can make the journey even more memorable as you discover your shared heritage together. We can accommodate various group sizes and will tailor the logistics and activities to ensure everyone has a meaningful and comfortable experience.
The duration of our tours is flexible and entirely dependent on your preferences and the depth of your family history. Tours can range from a single day exploring a specific region to multi-day excursions spanning various parts of Scotland. We work with you to create an itinerary that fits your schedule and desired experience.
The cost varies significantly based on the length of the tour, the extent of genealogical research required, the number of participants, accommodation preferences, and specific activities. We provide a detailed, transparent quote after our initial consultation and once we understand your specific needs and desires. There are no hidden fees.
Our unique approach combines meticulous genealogical research with deeply personalized travel experiences. Unlike standard tours, every aspect of your journey is crafted around your specific family history. Fiona MacGregor's expertise ensures accuracy and depth in research, while her passion for Scottish heritage translates into an unforgettable and emotionally resonant exploration of your roots.
Not at all! Whether you have extensive family trees or just a few names, we can start from wherever you are. We specialize in taking your existing information and expanding upon it through our professional research. The more details you can provide initially, the more focused our research can be, but it's certainly not a prerequisite.
While our primary focus is on the genealogical research and the curated itinerary, we can offer guidance and recommendations for travel and accommodation within Scotland. We work with trusted local partners to ensure your entire journey is smooth and enjoyable. We aim to alleviate as much planning stress as possible so you can fully immerse yourself in the experience.
The first step is to contact us through our website or by phone to schedule an initial, no-obligation consultation. During this call, we'll discuss your family history interests, what you hope to achieve from the tour, and any specific questions you might have. From there, we'll outline the next steps to start crafting your unique journey into the past.
Imagine walking the very lands your ancestors trod, feeling the echoes of their stories. Embark on a personalized genealogy tour that brings your family history to life.
