Customer Comments

Hi Nick
Wanted to convey to you how much we enjoyed our tour on Friday with Bill to Rosslyn and Roman Border! It was the highlight of our weekend in Scotland!

This was a very family friendly tour! Our guide, Bill was wonderful! He is a fantastic storyteller, knowlegeable, and we loved his passion when he spoke of Scotland!

We have friends planning a trip to Scotland next month and we will absolutely recommend your tour company to them.
Best Regards
Cathy, July 2007

3. The Footsteps Tour

Day One
Leave Edinburgh at 8.30am for majestic Loch Lomond; via Inveraray to lunch at wholesome and tasty food at Kilmartin House with a visit to the standing stones at Temple Wood and Dunadd Fort (with a footprint that marks the capital of the Scots). To Oban, and the ferry to the Isle of Mull; stay at the highly cherished Argyll Hotel on the Island of Iona or at the Seaview B&B.

Iona Abbey
Iona Abbey

Day Two
A tour of Iona Abbey, the cradle of Celtic Christianity, followed by a leisurely half day boat trip to Staffa to travel in the footsteps of Sir Walter Scott, and Mendelssohn to name but a few who were inspired by the island with its famous Fingle's Cave, and a panoply of puffins and seals. Stay at the Argyll Hotel or at the Seaview B&B.

Day Three
Leave Mull for glorious Loch Awe and Loch Tay; enter verdant and mysterious west Perthshire, perhaps search for the famed yet elusive Cave of Caerbannog; stay at the hideaway, Ardeonaig Hotel above the loch.

Day Four
Explore west Perthshire including visiting Europe's oldest living tree; find the evidence of the footsteps of the early Christians as they moved across this artery of Scotland, from Iona to Dunkeld. Visit Dunkeld Cathedral at the ancient pre-Christian confluence, and drink from one of the sacred healing wells around the old ‘city’.
