COMING SOON ON SELECTED TOURS

Looking for a tour of Scotland that’s a little different? Welcome to the Crabbit Scots Tour, where your guide is knowledgeable, passionate about Scotland, and possibly in a terrible mood.

Inspired by the famously blunt Scottish sense of humour, this one-of-a-kind experience combines incredible Scottish destinations with a guide who might grumble, complain, and dramatically express their “disappointment” if you’re late back to the bus.

Think less polite tour guide and more theatrical performance, all delivered with plenty of laughs and classic Scottish sarcasm. It’s Scotland with attitude.

Tour highlights

What is a “crabbit” guide?

In Scotland, “crabbit” means grumpy, moody, or slightly bad-tempered, and our specially trained Crabbit Guides play the role perfectly.

Expect:

  • Playful complaining
  • Dramatic eye-rolling
  • Mock lectures if you’re late
  • Sarcastic Scottish humour
  • Plenty of laughs along the way

Don’t worry, beneath the grumpiness is still an experienced and knowledgeable guide who will show you Scotland’s history, landscapes, and stories.

Important: it’s all part of the show

The Crabbit Tour is 100% entertainment.

Our guides are performing a character, and the “bad mood” is part of the experience. Guests should expect:

  • Playful sarcasm
  • Light-hearted teasing
  • Over-the-top Scottish grumpiness

If you prefer a traditional relaxed tour experience, we recommend booking one of our standard tours instead.

Selected tours only, Crabbit Guides appear only on specially scheduled departures, which will be clearly marked when booking.

Spaces may be limited, and the guide may complain about that too.

Perfect for

  • Travellers who enjoy interactive comedy experiences
  • Fans of sarcastic humour
  • Groups looking for a fun and unique tour experience
  • Anyone brave enough to face a grumpy Scotsman or woman

Warning

If you’re late back to the bus…
…the guide might have something to say about it.
