It allows us to offer an unparalleled level of personalization, ensuring your journey is not a generic tour but an intimate dialogue with Scotland’s diverse landscape and rich culture. This unique approach is the legacy of our founder, Zachary Burns, whose vision and passion shaped every aspect of our company.
Zachary’s commitment went far beyond the role of a typical service provider—he was a genuine companion who deeply understood each traveler’s aspirations and personal style, transforming them into extraordinary travel experiences. With years of extensive exploration across Scotland, Zachary cultivated invaluable connections with industry partners and tastemakers. As a Certified Scots Agent and Certified Travel Associate, he personally vetted destination partners, private guides, and properties to guarantee that every journey met his exacting standards.
His greatest passion was the power of personal connections—building relationships that delivered unforgettable moments and lifelong memories. Through his unwavering dedication, Zachary earned the trust and loyalty of a devoted clientele who continue to cherish the legacy of bespoke travel experiences he created.
As Zachary steps into the next chapter of his professional journey, we honor the indelible mark he has left on Royal B Travel. His vision, heart, and dedication remain the foundation upon which we continue to build. While his presence will be deeply missed, his legacy endures in the values we uphold and the personalized service that defines Royal B Travel today.
With over 40 years of entrepreneurial experience and a deep-rooted passion for exploration, Laird Burns brings a rare blend of expertise, thoughtfulness, and personal connection to Royal B Travel. He exemplifies the attentive, tailored approach that defines our boutique philosophy.

His transition into the role previously held by founder Zachary Burns has been both seamless and inspired, carrying forward the same thoughtful dedication our travelers have come to expect.

He has quickly become a trusted advisor to clients seeking elevated, bespoke experiences that go far beyond the ordinary.
His strength lies in listening — to your dreams, your curiosities, your rhythm — and transforming them into authentic moments of discovery. Whether planning a Highland escape, a cultural immersion, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, Laird curates each itinerary with unmatched attention to detail and genuine care.
