4.00A break is necessary even in bad weather. A beautiful discovery that these statues of horses came out of nowhere under the very grey sky of Scotland.
A Smashing Day!

5.00Callum was a great tour guide! He made me and my friends feel so comfortable and was great at interacting with everybody. We loved getting to explore bits of Scotland we had not seen before. We had such a laugh with him. Callum's knowledge of Scotland was very interesting and impressive to hear, and the whole day was very enjoyable. We loved getting shown around by our kilted tour guide :) Highly recommend!
A magic experience!
