Elate Scotland Tours: About Us
Your Personal Private Driver & Guide
Elate Scotland is an owner-operated business based in Crieff, specialising in luxury private tours and chauffeur services throughout Scotland. Because we are independent, we focus on creating personalised journeys that reflect the authentic character of the country.
Whether you are joining us for a single day trip from Edinburgh or Glasgow or a multi-day adventure across the Highlands and islands, we manage the route, timings and practical arrangements so you can relax and enjoy your surroundings.
Luxury Mercedes-Benz Fleet
We take pride in our vehicles, ensuring they are meticulously maintained for your safety and comfort. Our private tour fleet includes:
- Mercedes V-Class XLWB – Ideal for families and small groups (up to 7 guests), with conference-style seating and generous luggage space.
- Mercedes S-Class LWB – A refined executive saloon for couples or up to 4 guests seeking a smooth, quiet journey.
The Elate Scotland Difference
We believe private touring offers a distinctive way to experience Scotland. Unlike larger bus tours, we have the flexibility to visit well-known landmarks as well as quieter, hidden gems that bigger groups often miss.
From the first enquiry to the end of your journey, we offer a service that is flexible, discreet and attentive. We are committed to delivering the highest standard of customer care on every private tour.

Custom Private Tours & Chauffeur Services
We provide a comprehensive range of chauffeur services and private sightseeing tours across Scotland. Our aim is to offer a comfortable, well-organised experience – some guests prefer an “as-directed” service, while others choose a fully planned itinerary that includes the places they most wish to visit.
Our Most Popular Private Itineraries
- Private Chauffeur Tours – Flexible day trips or multi-day journeys, tailored entirely to you.
- Castle Tours of Scotland – Explore historic icons such as Edinburgh Castle, Stirling Castle and Eilean Donan Castle.
- Whisky Distillery Experiences – Taste the finest drams in Speyside, the Highlands and beyond, without worrying about the drive.

Tailor Your Trip
We love creating itineraries that reflect your specific interests. We frequently take guests to Outlander filming locations (such as Doune Castle and Midhope), the coastal scenery around Oban, and iconic viewpoints like Glencoe and the Glenfinnan Viaduct (the “Harry Potter” bridge).
If you have a particular interest in Scotland’s whisky regions, we can arrange visits to distilleries in Speyside, the Highlands and other notable areas. For guests who enjoy Scottish history, we often include prominent castles and estates. Those seeking dramatic landscapes can choose routes through the Highlands and islands, where the scenery is at its most impressive.
Simply let us know your dates, your starting point – often Edinburgh or Glasgow – and your must-see locations, and we will build a route that maximises your time and comfort.
