Murray Travel

In a region where a trip might begin with a flight from a smaller airport or a cruise through the north, Murray Travel offers planning help from four offices across the Highlands and Moray: Inverness, Nairn, Elgin, and Forres. Scott and Sarah Murray founded the company in 2014. It grew from its Inverness base and expanded regionally by bringing local agencies in Elgin and Forres into the business.

Its portfolio includes tailor-made trips, honeymoons, cruises, beach breaks, villa stays, escorted tours, safaris, ski vacations, and multi-stop itineraries. Advisors can coordinate flights, lodging, transfers, baggage, and activities, as well as ATOL-protected package holidays where applicable. The website pairs current offers with travel stories and staff recommendations; customers can begin online, by phone, or with an appointment at a branch.

Local service is part of the company’s identity. All four offices publish the same weekday schedule and meet with customers by appointment on weekends, while the Inverness headquarters is on Strothers Lane. In its company history, Murray Travel says it aimed to preserve in-person services in Moray and Highland communities as it grew beyond the regional capital.

For a complex route, a cruise, or a vacation that connects several services, speaking with an advisor can help bring the itinerary together. Murray Travel also identifies the protections and terms that apply to each product; travelers should check which elements are included in a package and which must be booked separately before confirming.
