    Iain our tour guide was full of historical facts and helpful tips. We had a blast, bouncing around a few hidden gems of pubs and had a sampling of some very interesting & spectacular beers. My husband was very excited to sample quite a few cask beers, which he was in pursuit of and having difficulty finding in London- he was so glad to find them in Scotland!!
