Off the Beaten Path – Rural & Remote Scotland
Most Scotland tours stick to the same well-known stops. That's fine if you only have a day or two. It's less interesting if you actually want to see the quieter side of the country.
Dirty Daves private tours can go further. Because the trip is just you (or your group) and Dave, we're not tied to coach schedules or the standard tourist circuit. That means more time on rural roads, more remote coastline, and more places that don't appear on every itinerary.
If you're looking for an alternative Scotland tour that feels less crowded and more exploratory, this is the idea.
Enquire about a tour:
What “Off the Beaten Path” Looks Like
- Quieter routes through the Highlands and west coast
- Rural villages and landscapes most big tours skip
- Remote beaches, single-track roads, and less-visited viewpoints
- Time to stop when something looks interesting instead of sticking to a fixed timetable
You still get the famous places if you want them (Loch Ness, Glencoe, Skye, etc.). The difference is we can balance them with stretches that feel properly away from the main flow of visitors.
Rural & Remote by Choice
A lot of people search for rural Scotland tours or remote Scotland tours because they want space, scenery, and fewer people. On a private multi-day trip that's realistic — we can shape the days around quieter areas and longer drives through countryside that coach tours simply don't have time for.
It's still a guided private tour. It just doesn't have to follow the same script as everyone else.
Who This Suits
- People who've already done the main highlights and want something different
- Travellers who prefer quieter places over busy viewpoints
- Anyone looking for an alternative Scotland tour with more rural and remote stretches
