Ordered several speciality cheeses and black pudding after seeing they were a local company. Worst experience ever!!! Order was delayed by courier, food spent 8 days in transit. When I contacted the company they did nothing, lied about where the package was (told me it was in Lybster and out for delivery when actually it was at a processing hub in Dundee hundreds of miles away!!) and ignored my emails. We tried calling, conveniently went to voicemail. I asked for a refund after around a week of waiting as order had not arrived however this was not answered. The food finally arrived 8 days from drop off at parcel locker, box was danaged and opened on one side and when I opened the box I was surprised to see there was no ice pack/cool pack in there. This meant the cheese and black pudding had been unrefridgerated for 8 days and was warm! As this was for a present for an elderly couple there was no way I was going to give them food poisoning. I emailed this company again stating this and that due to the delay (as Interparcel tracking stated it was a two day delivery) that they could claim their money back due to failing to deliver on time and that I wanted to return these items as they were not fit for purpose. Again no response, very ignorant, rude and downright unprofessional. I emailed again asking for a refund and that should I not get a response I would be seeking to raise a dispute with my credit card company to claim my money back (£32.00). I have since found out from Interparcel that interestingly they do not accept perishable items and therefore the seller would have known this and lied about the contents of the package they were sending. Therefore, they wouldn't be able to claim for any loss of monies. If you are buying from this company use your credit card because then if you are in a similar situation to me you can claim your money back through your bank. I do not believe this company has any form of food safety training at all and I have relayed my concerns to trading standards and the local council for them to investigate. I have received no apology for the inconvenience or replacement of items or offer of refund. They have completely dismissed me. Customer service is shocking!!

For my trip home to the States, I cannot thank you enough for fast results on PCR test from lab Eurofins in less than 24 hours. There are virtually no travel test sites in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland capable of testing and getting results back within 3 days of a flight, and I did not want to rely solely on a rapid test which is less accurate. It took a while to find you, but was so happy I did. Namaste', y'all!

This was a trip of a lifetime, incredible architecture & local tour guides with exceptional knowledge...very friendly & accommodating...we stayed in fantastic hotels-all with very high standards of cleanliness, location & staff were superb as were the meals...After touring the north it was time for relaxing in Kerela spent one night on a houseboat and travelled round the backwaters...just stunning...and onto our final destination by the beach. I would highly recommend this whole trip to anyone... a very beautiful country so vibrant colourful & friendly. I would go back in a flash. Julia at Spirit Journeys was extremely helpful giving advice on passport renewal, visa requirements & so much more.

Excellent and friendly service from Spirit Journeys, who are one of the few agents in the Highlands capable of quick PCR tests. We were in Scotland to visit family and my parents and I had three separate tests, each of which was sent back within eighteen hours of the samples being taken. The pricing is also excellent (£45) compared to the majority of other providers, which charge a lot more for slower results.
