Ancestry & Estates

The Genealogy Tour

For guests who arrive with more than luggage — for those who arrive with a name.

We open the archives before you land.

If your bloodline runs through Scotland, Ireland, England or Wales, the journey begins months before your car reaches Edinburgh. Our house genealogist works with you privately, tracing births, marriages, tenancies and migrations through parish records, estate papers and family seats.

By the time you arrive, you hold a leather-bound report of your line — and an itinerary that walks the parishes, castles and kirkyards where your ancestors stood. Rounds at the courses nearest your family ground are arranged around it, not against it.

Offered to a small number of guests each season. Not advertised separately.

The research

Private research into Scottish, Irish, English or Welsh ancestry, conducted in the months before travel.

The archives

Access to estate archives, parish registers and Burke's records, through introductions rather than queues.

The journey

A bespoke itinerary visiting the houses, villages and landscapes of your family history.
