Overview of your Edinburgh tour

This is an adventure delving into Scotlands past and present and one of my personal favourite driving tours. We will visit the world famous Kelpies designed by the famous Scottish artist Andy Scott and marvel at the scale and size of Duke and Barron. This eight hour tour will also include a visit to Stirling Castle which was first mentioned around 1100. This Castle was fought over and changed hands frequently, the theory was if you controlled Stirling you controlled Scotland. We will then visit the famous site of The Battle of Banockburn, where Robert the Bruce and Edward II changed the path of Scotland forever. After Banockburn it's on to visit the world famous Wallace Monument which overlooks the scene of Scotland's victory at the Battle of Stirling Bridge. For 150 years this attraction has been the highlight of many visitors to Scotland. If you are a whisky fan we can also visit a local distillery nearby and sample there famous 18 year old single malt.

Absolutely fantastic. I would highly recommend Kevin. We saw a great deal more than we anticipated. He has exceptional knowledge and was fun to be with. We really enjoyed "the silver bullet" a black cab from London. If u never experienced London's Taxi this will be a grand experience. He also supplied all kinds of local treats for us to snack on. If you're looking for a tour guide in Edinburgh look no further, Kevin is the best Truly, he was a terrific guide and great person

We had a partial itinerary to start with ,Kevin got to know us as a group and filled our days with some of the most interesting and beautiful sites. A lot of the sites we were not previously aware of but really added to our trip. We spent 5 days with Kevin and felt he was one of our group which really made our trip that much more enjoyable. Kevin's personality, knowledge of the area and its history was outstanding making it very easy for me to highly recommend him to anyone going to Scotland.
