Great tour with Tom

My parents and I really enjoyed this beautiful tour guided by Tom. The scenery and architecture are spectacular and Tom was fun, easy going, and knowledgeable. He did a great job providing us with the relevant background as we went through the sites, complimented with funny commentary and practical tips on good viewpoints and photo ops. We all had a great trip to the less traveled direction from Edinburgh!

Interesting Castle.

Pleasant visit, easy to find. Had to look for parking. Admission fee was discounted for seniors plus National Heritage so made it reasonable. Some of the signage could be clearer and larger. Cafe was clean with seating inside and outside. Seating on higher level wasn't clear. Mediocre choice of food. Interesting walking around the castle and grounds.
