    We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. If not boosted by the tour directors (Gill) many corny jokes but with excellent historic and scenic value. Coach driver Paul drove very comfortably through the landscape. The choice of hotels were good but varied. Meals were good. Luckily everyone melded into a very friendly group mostly made up of Americans, Irish and Australian. We were left with quite a nostalgic feeling for Scotland and it’s great (but violent) history. Sad for it to end but we’re left with great memories
