Timberbush Tours

Timberbush Tours has organized Scotland itineraries since 1998. Its buses connect the departure city with lochs, glens, castles, and villages, accompanied by a driver who also guides the trip. The catalog offers a choice between a day outside the city and a multiday journey through the Highlands and islands.

From Edinburgh, one route combines Loch Ness, Glencoe, and the Highlands. Another covers Glenfinnan, Fort William, and Glencoe, while the three-day Skye trip also includes the Highlands and Loch Ness. The variety lies in the combination of settings and time available to explore them rather than a single list of obligatory stops.

Glasgow offers departures toward Oban, Glencoe, and the western Highlands’ castles. Inverness provides another starting point for exploring the north and has a dedicated whisky itinerary. Castles, distilleries, lochs, and boat trips appear as search interests; individual programs establish their stops and activities.

History and fiction meet in the themed itineraries. The Outlander route brings together palaces and episodes of Jacobite history, while other trips visit filming locations. The driver’s storytelling accompanies the landscape with Scottish characters and histories, providing context for views from the bus and at stops.

Departure points are distinct from the company office. In Edinburgh, the meeting point is Castle Terrace, EH1 2EW, outside the NCP parking garage; in Glasgow, it is 19 Killermont Street, G2 3NX, opposite Buchanan Bus Station. In Inverness, departures are on Railway Terrace, IV1 1NW, a short distance from the train station. These are three different entry points to the same tour network.

Cruise travelers have itineraries from Greenock and Invergordon, organized as shore excursions. The company also designs private trips around interests such as whisky, golf, history, or culture. Coach rental covers group transfers and educational visits, while Timberbush Executive adds chauffeur-driven services for leisure or business travel.

The fleet includes air-conditioned vehicles, and the catalog offers itineraries lasting one to five days. A day tour concentrates on a particular route; a longer trip connects regions and devotes more travel time to the islands. Timberbush brings together these two approaches, with shared departures and private alternatives serving different plans.
