My tour was simply amazing! I have wonderful memories of EVERYTHING I wanted to see, the Highlands, coasts, lochs, castles, villages and more! I heard history, local lore, Scottish music new and old including beloved bagpipes! Our van was very nice, the hotels were great and the food and shopping was fun. On top of all that, what an experience to also stand in so many of the actual Outlander locations! My group did become great friends from all over the world and we've made plans to stay in touch. Knowing my ancestry, it felt like home as the people were so kind and welcoming. The biggest treat was our guide, Mac, who knows every inch and every detail of his country. He was SO intelligent, talented and fun! I hope to return and I hope to tour with Mac again!
