The train station in North Queensferry is the last station in Fife before you travel over the Forth…read moreRail Bridge. This small station is located at the higher end of North Queensferry and proudly stands over the rest of this coastal town. And it is its position which make the station standout on the rail route towards Edinburgh. With great views of the city of Edinburgh and its surrounding areas, tourists flock here with their cameras. Furthermore, this station is used, along with Dalmeny as a hop off and on station for crossing the Forth Rail Bridge. The station is small and is set in the Victorian mould with the main building and bridge. One of the walls at the station has been decorated by local school children with an image of the iconic bridge and the Firth of Forth. As a frequent train traveller I have formed an admiration for these small, old stations which almost look out of place in our villages and towns. However, North Queensferry train station certainly adds some character to the place and is well worth a visit for train station enthusiasts!

From the moment you pick up the phone the service is courteous and friendly and they do not cost the earth either. They are a local firm and the drivers we have had have been local as well which has been a great benefit - as an non-driver I am never good at pointing out short-cuts etc and rely on the honesty and integrity of drivers to help me along and I have had nothing but that from the drivers here.

It was our last day in Scotland and we desperately wanted to visit Midhope Castle "Lallybrock" from…read moreOutlander. We took a train to Dalmeny and then thought we could take a bus to get to Midhope but the bus didn't take us anywhere near there. So we got the bus to drop us off at a Tesco Super and called for a taxi, but since we didn't pre book there were none available at the time. We called Ferry Cabs and they said they would try to help but couldn't guarantee we would get a ride in time before the castle closed for the day. A short while later, a very sweet Taxi driver named David came and picked us up ON HIS DAY OFF and took us to Lallybrock! He was the sweetest kindest man ever and if it had not been for him we would have had to leave Scotland brokenhearted that we didn't get to see Lallybrock! He gave us to much history of the castle and the area and was like our own private tour guide! Right before we left the castle, I fell and landed in stinging nettle! On the ride back to the train station in Dalmeny, David spotted the green leafy plant that is the antidote to stinging nettle and pulled over to get some for me to rub on my hands! David went above and beyond! He is awesome! David if you remember a young mother with a very talkative baby and a very southern speaking grandmother from America, we love you! You are our hero! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Ever been to a railway station which represents the grim reality of commuting to a city to work? If you have said yes to these questions then most likely you have come across Dalgety Bay Railway station. I don't like giving places poor reviews but this railway station really does force me to do it! It is not staffed and its only permanent resident is the automatic ticket machine. It has two steel bridges which dominate it the station and the rest of the station id taken up with one large miserable car park. The station is not kept well compared to other stations along this particular train line. Apart from Inverkeithing railway station, this is one of the busiest stations for commuters who travel to work in Edinburgh. Certainly not a cheery place to depart from at the start of your working day!

While my original booking became untenable due to a car service in London missing a connection with me, Martin was very helpful in getting me booked with another taxi and then came through when it was time to leave the island (which is tricky due to tides and a causeway).

I don't think any other cab driver would have done that. THAT will forever be a day we won't forget from our vacation!

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.
