Tastes of Scotland was born out of a shared passion for all things Scottish. Founders Kieran and Michael wanted to create a travel company that told the story of a modern Scotland with deep seated roots through its history and traditions.
Whether you are planning to come to Scotland to sample of few wee drams, hit a little white ball around our ancient links, meet the Laird of the castle or dive into your ancestral past then we will create journeys, memories and stories that will last a lifetime.
We are passionate story tellers. One way that brings people together is through food and drink and we believe that through these two things we can help create special journeys for visitors to our shores. This is our golden thread and we build our journeys around these elements: so whether its an exclusive whisky tasting and distillery experience, wild dining in the Highlands, visiting the best fish and chip shop, a foraging day followed by a cookery class or simply placing your favourite whisky in your golf bag we will enhance your journey.
Hi there! I’m Kieran, and I am passionate about exploring what drives people to travel and the emotions tied to those adventures. I love to turn your travel dreams into reality by truly understanding what you desire most from your journeys.
Based in Edinburgh and boasting over 20 years in the hotel, hospitality, and tourism industry. Personally, I love family, adventure, local cuisine, and sampling the best local beers wherever I go. I balance these passions with activities like running, cycling, and diving into the essence of every neighbourhood I visit. We have all of these on our doorstep right here in Scotland.

Michael can trace his Scottish heritage back to his Great Great Great Mother Mary Kirkbride from Peebles, just south of Edinburgh.
Like Kieran an ex-hotelier where he worked at The Balmoral in Edinburgh for four years promoting not just this iconic luxury hotel but working with Visit Scotland to market luxury experiences throughout the country. Michael first fell in love with Scotland when he played St. Andrews and Gleneagles and watched The Open at Turnberry.
Married with two children, Michael is passionate about golf, whisky, food and bagging a few Munros in The Highlands. (He is also known to go wild swimming in the Lochs and wee burns).
