Fantastic trip and a fantastic Tour Guide
It was a wonderful trip! We’ve seen many interesting places from the Outlander Series and that’s what we aspected, but the best was our Tour Guide Paul, who told us so many stories about the Scottish History, Habits and Culture, accompanied by Scottish music and Scottish sayings, those nine hours flew by in a flash. Absolutly fantastic!!!
