- AAnonymous· September 27th, 2023I really appreciated that I could wander on my own through the castles. I didn't feel rushed and I could read the information cards and take pictures on my own time. Loved the free time to wander in Pitlochry, Edinburgh and Glasgow. I also appreciated the photo op stops along the way. Matt Bell, tour guide was a wealth of information. He was entertaining and uplifting to me since my baggage was never received. He was always available to answer questions.Show moreTrip date: September 2023Review collected by Globus
