TARTAN TOURS SCOTLAND AN OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE - We started our 5 days of tours with Tartan Tours Scotland with a full Robert Burns day. My husband was thrilled with all Stewart showed us. Getting picked up in Glasgow was easy and perfectly timed - no waiting for either of us. We spent the entire day viewing all that Alloway offered on Robert Burns. Stewart Gunn took us to the Spinnaker Hotel in Gourock to stay for four nights. We had the BEST room with beautiful sunset views over the River Clyde. Our second tour day was Loch Lomond and Inverary with stunning views from Rest & Be Thankful. Stewart showed us the "Real Scotland". Since Stewart knew how important Robert Burns was to my husband, he threw in a little of Burns every day! Getting to see Highland Mary statue in Dunoon was a fantastic surprise - thanks Stewart. I was thrilled to see Dolphins as we took the ferry across the Clyde to Gourock! Day Three was Robert the Bruce with tour of Stirling Castle and Bannockburn. We had additional evening tours both on our second and third nights. Stewart made dinner reservations at some of his favourite restaurants for us, so we were never left trying to figure that out on our own. MUCH APPRECIATED! Day Four was St. Andrews. I was thrilled that there was so much more to see than just the Old Course and its bridge. Stewart walked with us to the University, St. Andrews Cathedral (a must see!) and St. Andrews castle ruins. Day Five was William Wallace Tour with many sights to see. As Stewart is a member of the William Wallace Society, he offered much insight and history regarding Wallace. We were given information on the areas that we drove through and some of the history of the places. It was truly an experience worth every penny or should I say pence! Thank you Stewart and I hope I can get my husband on a plane again to come to Scotland so that you can show us more - we barely touched the surface of all Scotland has to offer.
