This was a lovely trip to Scotland! Robert our tour guide in Edinburgh Old town was great! Our Outlander tour with Edinburgh Black Cab Tours and Stephen was to exciting. Then the best day on our trip was the day on Isle of Skye with Sandy. Isle of Skye was an amazing day.
Wish we had had adjusted more than 1 day at the end of the trip. Not sure I was a fan of all our accommodations. Loved our adventure to 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This stay was a bit ruff! The Corran was clean and very local which I loved, but there was no food options near hotel. It was a 40.00 cab ride to Ft William. So our 1 day stay added 120.00 to go back and forth.
