“The perfect time to go as it is the end of the tourist season and there are less people. (The weather was also fantastic.) Our tour guide Iain was brilliant. He had loads of history knowledge and funny stories. He also knew the area well so he had loads of options of things to see if what we had planned was closed. Each of the accomodations were lovely, and each day was full of beautiful places to see and great places to eat. Loads of cute villages to have a "wee nosey".”
