We had a wonderful 11 days with Justin through sun, rain, uphills & down. Trains, boat trips, taxis and of course, walking. He took great care of us and provided memories of Scotland that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

This tour was one of the highlights in Edinburgh. Justin has a wonderfully humorous Scottish way of conveying the country's exciting history. At the end there is still plenty of time to play with the historical weapons and take pictures.
