    Emily was a fabulous tour guide. She shared lots of historical information and had lots of great stories to keep us all interested. The hairy coo stop was the best one I've had on my tours.

    Even though the Scottish rains stuck around all day, Emily was great fun and very knowledgeable. She shared many stories of Culloden and Nessie. It was great spending the day seeing many of the sights.
