5.00Helen was our driver and guide, and she spoke to us as friends, shared Scottish history, music and personal stories that will make this a most memorable trip. The weather was perfect, Blair Castle and surroundings were lovely and the guides at the house were happy to share stories of Victoria being filmed there. We stopped at all listed photo shots along with a few extras. Loo stops were provided.
