Wow, we knew we were getting a real “Alba” experience, when James showed up in kilt and authentic Scottish attire! James was very accommodating and taught us many things along our drive. We learned about the Scottish Highlands; the history, the tragic past, as well as about the native animals and plants. I especially loved meeting and feeding the Highland Coo! So very cute! Along our drive, we passed by many woolly sheep and beautiful flowers draped along the green rolling hillside. The many lochs with the “dragon’s breath” clouds drifting above, were majestic! We stopped at Loch Lubnaig to enjoy a dram of Scottish Whiskey along the banks. There, we learned about tartans and how to wear a Scottish kilt. It was fun learning about the traditions and culture!
I really enjoyed the many castles on our tour. We saw Castle Stalker, a 1300’s tower home, surrounded by a moat; St. Conan’s Kirk, 1800’s; Kilchurn Castle; and Inverary Castle, just to make a few.
I highly recommend this tour if you want the true Alba experience. James was fantastic!
