Watch The Christian Heritage Tour feature on Songs of Praise for the BBC

The Team

Why travel all day long in a coach to see Scotland pass you by through a window, when you can breathe it, feel it and experience it on Edinburgh’s doorstep?

Max - Heritage Tours and Travels For All...Even Pets

Max

Abi has retired from being a tour dog because of health issues. In the autumn of 2023, we bought Max from a farm in Angus, where he was part of a friendly pack of 23 collies, plus two litters of pups. Max is a lovable collie and is so friendly with everyone. He will start as the new tour dog this year. He loves to greet people, and will probably roll over to have his tummy stroked.
