Highly recommend this tour! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating! Rosslyn Chapel is a must see!

Dear Beryl, Thank you. I very much enjoyed my short visit to Edinburgh, Rosslyn Chapel and surrounds. Stuart was the perfect host and could not have done more to ensure I got to see and do as much in the short timeframe, which of course was way too short! Stuart was a delightful host, full of local and international knowledge and I enjoyed our chats. He was even sought after for a few photos by others as he was wearing his kilt! As Stuart said, I will have to 'hasty back' however Isle of Skye draws me for the moment. Thank you once again for organising a short and memorable day in Edinburgh. Kind regards, Miriam.

This was such a fun experience! I didn't realize that we would be visiting Sir Walter Scott's house Abbotsford in between the chapel and the abbey, but that ended up being the best part!

Sean led a wonderful tour to the Borders yesterday. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating.

We had such a wonderful day exploring! Sean was an amazing guide. He took us to some out of the way places that weren't on the plan when he saw I was a photographer. I can not say enough about how wonderful he was. We even stopped at a old bridge to take some pictures.

The Chapel is fantastic and the Bible through masonry is just incredible, you could spend all day looking at the workmanship of days gone past, there is a lovely feel in the Chapel and well worth a visit, I highly recommend it, and the ruins of the Castle are well, just ruins but the view of the gully below is really cool

Sean was a wonderful driver and a very knowledgeable tour guide. The trip was well planned but flexible with interesting detours and amble time at each destination. It was wonderful to leave the city and into the beautiful Scottish countryside with a local. We highly recommend this trip!

Wonderful personal guide/service. Sean went above and beyond! I would highly recommend any of his tours. Also enjoyed a wee bit of free time.

If you are travelling by road to or from Edinburgh, this strangely ornate and isolated historic building is worth a visit. Its current isolation is a facet of the vanishing of a formerly more occupied landscape. It is a symbol of power and affluence, where the affluent component ran out! So it is an unfinished building. Even so it is a gem of Gothic architecture. The Trust guide we met spoke with us for half an our and was extremely well informed.
