Private Shore Excursions from Rosyth

Dock at Rosyth in Fife and head straight out to discover Scotland's castles, Highlands, and coastline on a private shore excursion built entirely around your day in port. Rosyth sits across the Forth from Edinburgh, so you can spend your time exploring the capital's landmarks or head further afield to the Highlands, lochs, and countryside, whatever suits you best, with a maximum of eight guests and no one else sharing the day.

Tour Guide Scotland is a husband-and-wife operation, with Lesley and James personally guiding every excursion rather than handing you off between drivers. Lesley spent 17 years in the police and has a genuine passion for Scottish history and wildlife, while James is a Scottish Whisky Ambassador with a background in hospitality. We'll be waiting for you at Rosyth and have you back in plenty of time before your ship sails.

A private shore excursion from Rosyth is priced at a flat £695 for your private guide and vehicle, with no hidden extras. Every excursion listed can be adapted, and if you have somewhere specific in mind, we're happy to put together a bespoke itinerary.

From Fife's coastline to Edinburgh's landmarks and beyond, a private shore excursion from Rosyth gives you the freedom to see Scotland at your own pace. Get in touch to start planning your private tour from Rosyth.
