First, a note of thanks

Thank you for subscribing to my blog and reading my letters. You are the reason I continue to share what I know about Scotland.

I am grateful for your comments, messages and shares on social media, as well as your purchases of my resources and your donations. Support from people like you helps me continue to do what I do, and it is much appreciated. It means the world to me that you are interested in what I do!

I hope that by following my blog, you will find encouragement and inspiration to act on your holiday dreams.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for caring.

Thank you for your wonderful feedback including the most recent one from Theresa from Wisconsin. We worked together on her 14-day tailormade itinerary in Scotland.

I cannot thank you enough for your help with planning our trip to Scotland. You have been a blessing. I am very grateful that I was able to make contact with you. You have offered us not only wonderful options but also plenty of details. I also love the fact that you offered suggestions, but then also offered your best recommendations. We are pumped. Thank you again so very much!!!

Here are the best articles on my website most widely read and shared by readers

3. My aim is to collaborate with the communities to bring more tourists off beaten tracks and show them less touristy places. Most of the tourists follow the same path, same attractions and same route, but Scotland is much more. Here is the post I wrote in collaboration with tourist guides who brought up some wonderful hidden gems you would never know Discover Scotland’s Hidden Gems with Tourist Guides​
4. In November 2021, I showcased our incredible and talented Scottish artists. Scotland Itinerary Planning is proud to be a supporter of Campaign Shop Independent and Small Business. Small actions matter, so instead of boosting Amazon’s profits, you could ask friends and family for a gift from Scottish makers. It is a way to support small businesses and artists who we believe deserve more recognition for their work and to present their talents to the world. Most crafters live and work in remote areas, so at the same time we are supporting an entire community, and we are supporting their passion and hard work. But at the heart of it is the love and care behind the products we buy. Many crafters are on Etsy for a better marketing reach, and the company is well known for supporting independent sellers. This Etsy Scottish Gifts Guide in collaboration with Scottish crafters was and still is one of the most shared via social media besides the award I received from Etsy for promoting and supporting independent Scottish small businesses.
5. This year I've discovered many places I did not know existed, thanks to my amazing clients' and their trip research. You can follow these stories via my private Facebook group here ​
