Awesome outdoor family activity - A family of 4 adults and 4 kids (aged 13-15) for an afternoon canyoning in Dollar Glen. All different levels of confidence and previous experience. We all had a great experience and felt safe with the leaders, who were encouraging and fun. They took super footage which was shared at the end, along with some scrumptious cookies and hot tea. This is fantastic way to spend some hours doing something completely out of the ordinary, building confidence and having a laugh at the same time. We would very highly recommend!

Best dad and kids adventure ever!!!!! - We have done a fair few dad and kids adventures (51/17/15/12 year olds) but this one beats the lot!!!! Ru was an amazing guide and teacher - we spent over 2 hours abseiling, jumping and sliding down the Dollar canyon. He also took loads of great pictures through the trip and airdropped them to me as we drank warm coffee, juice and ate their homemade cookies at the end of the trip. My kids have not stopped talking about the whole experience! The standard of kit provided by Scotlands Canyons - wetsuit, wetsuit socks, specialist boots, harness - was very impressive and for me made a big difference to our experience. We will be back next time in Scotland.

One-of-a-kind Adventure and Memories!! - We had the most amazing and memorable adventure today in Scotland with Scotlands Canyons!!! We came for vacation with our two sons, ages 11 and 14, and wanted to start off our trip with something that would be fun and memorable for them, as their first introduction to Scotland- and I have to say, this surpassed our expectations and was beyond amazing!! Our guide, Ruaridh, was incredible in every way- he guided us safely and confidently through the glen, up and down waterfalls and truly made us feel like a living, breathing part of this beautiful Scottish landscape! He is a true professional, so patient and yet willing to give you that little encouragement you need! Also, he took photos and videos of the entire experience for us (there is no way you can carry your phone on you, as you are in a wetsuit), but no worries because he captured everything! My boys were loving every minute of this, and jumped into waterfalls behind Ruaridh’s lead like they do this every day! The service with Ruaridh and Diana’s company, Scotland’s Canyons, is that kind of personalized, finest details touch that only comes from small-owned business and personal connections with those who run it. Ruaridh was great with email communication, and told us exactly where to meet up with him at the Stirling train station. From there, he picked us up and took us to Dollar Glen where we had our canonying adventure, and he took care of every detail, from tea and chocolate treats to revive us mid-way, to sandwiches and the most delicious homemade “Canyon Cookies” (their secret recipe) waiting for us at the car after we changed into dry clothes at the end. Highly, highly recommend, 1000% for a truly unforgettable experience in Scotland!!! We loved this day, loved memory that we will now cherish forever, and thanks to Ruaridh, have fallen in love with Scotland’s majestic beauty from our first day here!

Best thing I have done in my entire life… - My 8 year old daughter summed up the day with Scotland’s Canyons in one sentence, ‘this is the best thing I have done in my entire life’. Truly brilliant. Highly recommended.

Don't hesitate - jump right in! - What a fantastic day out! Not only was there perfect weather, but also a perfect instructor in Ruaridh. It would be truly impossible to say a bad word about Ruaridh, as he was exactly the sort of guide you would hope for when tackling canyoning; from his enthusiasm, to his knowledge and instructions, at no point did I feel unsafe or ill-advised. All equipment was provided in tip-top condition, there was no pressure to do anything you didn't feel comfortable with, and the watermelon and cookies (home-made!) at the end were a treat!! If you're on the fence about it at all, don't think about it - give it a go!

Great, must try adventure - Amazing day out in the Ochils. Ruaridh was so welcoming and really took time to make sure we felt safe. Some practices early on in the trip before really testing our new skills later in the day. Absolutely brilliant fun. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to do something a bit more adventurous close to home.
