Canada, Japan, & Luxury Specialist

Japan - Kyoto
Japan - Kyoto

I have worked in the travel industry for 25 years. I joined Barrhead Travel 15 years as a luxury cruise and worldwide travel specialist. I take pride in providing excellent customer service to all my customers and I'm very passionate about my job.

I have been lucky enough to travel to many destinations around the world including most of Europe, Mexico, Dubai, USA, Canada, New York, the Middle East, South Africa, Antigua and St Kitts and most recently an amazing trip across Japan!

I have traveled to many places in Japan, from the north to the south. I am here to share my knowledge with you about big must-see cities like Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. How about a trip to Tokyo Disneyland, eating street food in Osaka or visiting the Golden Pavilion in Kyoto? When someone asks me what I like about Japan, it's always a challenge because I love so many things, I can't choose just one.

Canada has to be one of my ultimate destinations - with its truly awe-inspiring scenery, incredible wildlife and cosmopolitan cities, it's not hard to see why Canada is a a destination on most people's bucket list! The famous Rocky Mountaineer train is a fantastic way to see the the Canadian Rockies and you can combine this with stays in picturesque Banff, Lake Louise or Jasper and an Alaskan cruise to make it a trip of a lifetime!

Cruising is a passion of mine, and I am lucky to have experienced Princess, MSC, Celebrity Cruises, NCL, Fred Olsen, Silversea's, Azamara, Viking River and ocean cruises and more recently Seabourn's brand new expedition Journey. My next cruise will be on luxury Regent Seven Seas around Italy.

Looking forward to meeting you in-store very soon and helping you book your next dream holiday!

  • Tracey Hunter 100 starts!

    Reviewed By Lara - Edinburgh | Travelled to Mediterranean ~ At Sea ~ At Sea

    We have just come home from the most amazing cruise experience all thanks to the wonderful Tracey Hunter who is based in fort Kinnard Edinburgh. Our whole experience with Tracey has been one of the most seamless and enjoyable I have had in a very long time. Not being big travelers Tracey helped us every step of the way and went above and beyond to make this the best holiday we could ever have imagined. From checking us in there and back to going into great detail and to great lengths on her part. I would have given Tracey 100 stars if it was an option. We can’t thank you enough and will never ever use anybody else in the future. Everyone needs to get along there and experience her expertise for themselves. Thank you so so much Tracey, from Lara Joe Ethan and Alba Rawsthorne xxxx

  • Excellent Service

    Reviewed By Fiona - Livingston | Travelled to Lanzarote ~ Canary Islands ~ Africa

    Unfortunately due to the change of entry requirements for kids to travel to Spain we are not able to go to Lanzarote for Christmas. I had booked our holiday through Fort Kinnaird branch. Tracey contacted me before we had even heard about the change by the Spanish Government. Tracey was so helpful and patient from the start. At the point of the change we were only able to change the holiday to another date at a cost to us which we didn’t want to do but Tracey contacted jet2 and spent hours on hold with them to try and get us a refund, she was constantly checking for updates and keeping me informed. Tracey also went above and beyond checking for any updates during her own personal time. Tracey was so patient as she knew I was panicking a bit as we were getting closer to our departure date. We have now managed to get a refund and I am grateful for all of Tracey’s time and effort. I will definitely be contacting her again to help with my next holiday!

    Reviewed By Mr Smith - Edinburgh | Travelled to Spain ~ Europe


    We recently visited Barrhead Travel at Fort Kinnaird; on both occasions we received excellent service from Tracey Hunter, Deputy Manager. Our situation was complex: we had twice had cruises cancelled since March 2020 and now wanted to gather up our credit and use it to book a new cruise in 2022. Tracey quickly confirmed with Fred Olsen how much we had to spend and then negotiated a good price for our proposed cruise. Tracey was very welcoming, cheerful throughout, explained everything in detail and sorted all the paperwork. We will have no hesitation in returning to Barrhead for booking future holidays.

  • Tracey from Barrhead Fort Kinnaird to the rescue!

    Reviewed By Allison - edinburgh | Travelled to Greece ~ Europe


    A friend and I were due to go on a Greek Island cruise in early September but, as we're both in our mid-70s, when the balance of our holiday was due to be paid we decided to cancel and emailed support team at Barrhead to advise of this. We knew from their website not to expect any communication from them for 28 days so was surprised and delighted to receive a phone call from Tracey who very courteously, with no drama, and within about an hour, had organised a refund credit note so that we can re-book next year (hopefully!). We have been booking holidays with Barrhead for many years and have always received great service and this year, even with the present situation, has been no exception. Many, many thanks to Tracey for her kindness and expertise in organising our refund credit note, I hope her bosses realise what an asset she is to their business.
