I keep checking their website and it is always under construction. They don't respond to email queries. Does anyone know if they are up and running? We're hoping to visit in mid-May.

Maybe, but if you are on Facebook perhaps you can send them a message through that and they might be more responsive.

I've been trying as well, with no success as well. I had sent a message to the RS email because it's still on the tour itinerary and was told they're still planning visits on the Scotland tour.
Have the Scotland tours started yet? Wonder if anyone has an update if it's actually still part of the itinerary.
*the Facebook page says "coming soon" as well.

Will you post if you find out any info from the RS folks? (The Leaults are not responsive to FB or website queries. )

I just found this on the Secret Scotland website page

In addition I tried telephoning the number for Leault this morning with no response.

After having visited the farm on a 2018 tour I cannot imagine him being responsive to any communication that is computer-y or social media oriented, lol.

I managed to track down one of the guides that RS uses for the Scotland tours. She replied to my email that it is open to tour groups only at this time.

Allan, your timing is impeccable as we are off today. That is so kind of you to get a concrete answer. There's 4 of us...that's a small group. LOL!

Hi Allan and Kay and Anyone who has had any luck on this topic since the spring of 2022,
Forgive me. Are you saying that they are only accepting tour groups at this time? If my husband and I just show up that would not be acceptable because we are not part of a tour group?
I emailed them on August 3rd, 2022 with no response. I was thinking of trying to call them tomorrow. I am my own tour guide - LOL - and have them in my itinerary for Tuesday Sept. 20th.
Any advice?

I'm sad to say that I have no advice. I tried to contact then in advance by email and no answers. Their FB page has no info. We were in the area with four of us and we didn't want to take the time away from other sights to try and find out more or crash in as a group. .

My interpretation from the RS guide was that they are booking large bus groups such as RS groups only.
