    Do yourself a favor, if you're going to see Scotland, book a private tour with Duncan McNab…read more Short review: Duncan is one heck of a tour guide. Unpretentious, knowledgeable, very personable, and a true Scotsman who wants to share his country with you. Long, romanticized review: There is nothing better than experiencing a country through the eyes of someone whose beloved home it is. Before saying it's obvious, understand this; any tour guide knows history, any can say "this is the most visited site in Edinburgh", most can even tell a tall tale or two to make you laugh but it takes a very special guide to create an experience. Experience? It goes without saying, the sites, monuments, abbeys, are stunning in their beauty. The countryside itself, romantic. Hollywood tale of Braveheart debunked. The Holy Grail at Roslyn Chapel; hmmm maybe. It's what's beyond that. It's about a telling of centuries old tale and believingly relating it one's own youth. About a drive along the modern piers, enroute to the Highlands showing off modern industrialization while taking subtle nationalistic punches at the unified UK that only a proud, long time, Scotsman can make. About lunching at a pub and listening to a father's hopes for the future of his children and how similar yet very different they are from our own. It breathes life into the country and makes it a living experience. Details: Send a booking request via the company website. Provide a list of dates and an idea of what you want to see. You do not need to be specific (I asked for castle and abbey ruins plus a distillery). Single or multiple day tours with lodging. Private vehicle (luxury sedan to small bus) based on party size. Rates vary. (Paid £350 / day). £150 due via PayPal at time of booking confirmation, the remainder due on the day of the tour. Day of the tour, meet the charming Duncan and be prepared for a truly memorable experience.

    A really good tour round the mid-forth. There is a small bar area downstairs with a range of snacks…read moreand drinks (licensed) as well as plenty of seating both inside and out. The commentary is pre-recorded but knowledgeable and the crew intersperse it with live commentary where appropriate. All the crew were really lovely and happy to chat to my wee boy. If you catch an early boat, you can spend longer on Inchcolm Island - the minimum stay is 1.5 hours.

    A boat trip down the Firth of Forth is a great way to spend a Saturday morning and to see the city…read moreof Edinburgh and Kingdom of Fife from a perspective you've never seen before. The Forth Boat Tours trip, aboard the Forth Belle, leaves from Hawes Pier and takes you first towards the west, past the Forth Road Bridge, before turning around and heading towards the mouth of the Estuary and stopping at the stunning Inchcolm Island. You can choose to get off at Inchcolm (at a cost of £5 per adult which goes to Historic Scotland for access to the island) or to stay on board and return to Hawes Pier. If you choose to get off at Inchcolm Island, you have 90 minutes (not quite enough to thoroughly explore the Augustinian Abbey and world War II embattlements). Take a picnic if you do get off, as the only shop on the island does not sell drinks or food. Your boat trip is guided with an informative, interesting, and at times witty pre-recorded commentary. On our return from Inchcolm Island, the captain stopped the boat to give the passengers a chance to look out for seals that normall hang out on a cluster of rocks. The boat, an 83 ft saloon with outdoor seating at bow (uncovered) and stern (covered), and a fully enclosed, warm, saloon viewing area has toilets, and a bar/cafe. This experience is perfect for tourists and locals alike! For those looking for soemthing a little different, there are salsa dancing, jazz and disco night cruises available too! £11.00 per adult but look out on Groupon/living social as we got a very good, discounted deal!
