"All Scotland. Amazing personal experience. Started off with Graham arriving in his “uniform” of sweater and Kilt. Graham is a thorough historian no end to history all day. Specializes your trip to your wants. We got to see the sheep, hairy coos, horses and so much more. The small villages, castles, churches, and more. The whiskey and chocolate were unbelievable. I can’t say enough on how personalized this trip is. Your day your experience. A MUST-do trip. Worth every pound and more. Graham makes the day."
