Ensuring our business not only looks after our customers, but the planet too, is an integral part of everything we do.
Gordon Pearson, Founder
Gordon has planted over 500 trees outside our home office. In addition to this we have donated time and money to the conservation charity Trees for Life to plant trees locally too.
Over the years we have have done countless clean-ups of the various places we visit to ensure they continue to remain beautiful.
I would like to congratulate your company and in particular one of your drivers who I observed litter picking today on Skye, how refreshing to see someone doing this from a tour company.

On our flagship Isle of Skye Tour we’ve worked with our meal supplier to source “Vegware” packaging, which is turned into compost.
We stopped using plastic bottles on any of our tours in 2017 and insist our suppliers provide a more environmentally friendly alternative.
By using electronic ticketing we have saved over 8000 sheets of paper per season! We’ve also eliminated our disposable menus and have replaced these with a reusable version.
Our mini-coaches are some of the newest on the market and comply to the highest Euro 6 emissions standards. We’ve specified vehicles that are the perfect size for the routes we run and they use around 30% less fuel than our previous vehicles!
The heating and hot water for our office comes from a ground source heat pump, which uses the earth’s warmth to help generate heat. A 8 Kwh solar system powers the office during the summer, and the rest of our electricity comes from 100% renewable sources! We also use LED bulbs throughout the whole property and our company car is Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV (a plugin hybrid) which can do up to 30 miles on electricity.
