Long trip without much to see except for landscapes

It is a long trip, the landscapes are very nice to see the highlands, at the destinations there is nothing to see, you only stop for restrooms and food.

Loved this tour. A...

Loved this tour. A beautiful day in the highlands, Dougie was a fantastic driver and guide. Lots of stories and tidbits about Scotland. He made sure we were at the viaduct in plenty of time to see the train. A really great day out.

Dougie was extremely good, very entertaining and full of Scottish knowledge which was extremely interesting. He was very funny also, and allowed us all plenty of time to see and do what we needed/wanted to do. Absolutely first class experience, and I would highly recommend anyone do it!.
