  FANTASTIC!!! We truly loved this trip. First, our guide, Liall, was amazing. He was professional, informative, and fun! I know it seems like a long day but it's really not. There is plenty to see and it's a great mixture of walking, sightseeing, and driving. We had just the right amount of time in each spot. Dunrobin Castle was a nice place and the gardens are stunning. It's a great place to pick up a sandwich for take away if needed. John O'Groats was beautiful. It's where the North Sea meets the Atlantic. There is a great distillery there for a quick flight of whiskey and a sweet treat. Duncansby Stacks was probably one of my favorite stops. It was a wonderful walk along the cliffs and incredibly ocean view and breathtaking natural wonder of the stacks themselves. There is so more to this tour and I'm happy we did it. It's such great way to enjoy this northeast area of Scotland without driving ourselves. We were able to sit back and relax during the drive and really see the gorgeous landscape. Thank you Liall for making our day great! Your first aid skills were a blessing on this trip!!! :)

  This was an awesome tour. Stewart took us to the village of Dornoch for our first stop. It was a great stop and we enjoyed it, just needed a bit more time to see everything. He had a wealth of knowledge about every site. We really enjoyed the falconry demonstration at Dunrobin Castle. We learned a lot about the history of the area. The weather deteriorated by the time we got to John O'Groats and we learned about the history and the charity challenges. The tour was well organized and Stewart was an expert guide. We enjoyed the tour very much thanks to Stewart and his stories.

• Breathtaking scenery but too many stairs at Dunrobin

  The trip was a good way to experience the North of Scotland and the coastal areas and to get a "whistle stop" overview. The views from the coach were breathtaking, of both the coast and the mountains and the villages were pretty and interesting. As expected, with a coach trip, you have to follow the timings of the coach, so you can't linger anywhere and often you have to queue for food and drink which eats into the amount of time you have to spend in each place, but it was lovely to see the views and get out and have a walk in a few places. My favourite part was eating delicious fish and chips on my own, on a bench looking out across the water to the Shetland Islands! However the fish and chips were a bit of a long wait due to lots of other people eating there. Dunrobin castle was a disappointment. You need to know that it is all steps and a lot of them! I had just run the Loch Ness marathon a couple of days before and what with sitting on the coach, my legs struggled to manage to get up and down the steps on and off the coach (which I found tough), let alone all the endless flights of stairs both in the castle and in the gardens. If you can't manage stairs, you can't even get in the castle, if you can manage a few, you can get into the cafe, but the garden is at the bottom of a lot of flights of stairs and there is no ground floor to see in the castle! It's all steps, which were a torture to me! I gave up on attempting to see both the castle and the garden. There is nothing that you can see there if you can't get up and down lots and lots of stairs.
