Proscot provided our group of 4 an outstanding experience in Scotland and the trip of a lifetime. We advised John that we wanted a mix of golf and site seeing for our 2 week trip. He provided us with great options for golf, accommodations, points of interest for sites and restaurant recommendations. We ended ended up visiting 6 cities and playing 6 rounds and every booking and reservation they provided for us went so smoothly. Nicola also made sure we were happy with everything along the way and provided us with a point of contact for our whole trip. Our accommodations were beautiful and perfect location in relation to our golf rounds and things to do. Thank you Proscot for providing us with an amazing itinerary and something we will remember for the rest of our lives.
