Some of McKinlay Kidd’s holidays offer excellent shared experiences for families.

Our wildlife holidays on the Isle of Mull (most suitable for children aged 8+) offer the chance to spot eagles and otters in their natural habitats, and include boat trips to find seals, porpoise, and perhaps minke whales and basking sharks. They come with the added bonus of a visit to Tobermory, the charming and colourful harbour village better known to many youngsters as Balamory.

Our West Highland Line Experience, including a spectacular journey on the steam train made famous in the Harry Potter movies, is first class for children aged from 5 to 105.

We can also, of course, tailor-make a holiday to suit the interests and requirements of the whole family, so do get in touch.
