Always enjoy a visit to the Wallace Monument. 246 steps to a magnificent view! #tourguide #britainsbestguides

Where is everybody? Had #stirlingcastle almost to ourselves on this stunning November morning. Who says the weather in Scotland is bad? #tourguide #britainsbestguides

You dont necessarily expect good weather when touring Scotland in November, but into day 3 if a ten day tour and yet to see a cloud! Walk to a quieter than usual #edinburghcastle yesterday. Then early start in #leith today. #guidingisfun #tourguide #britainsbestguides

The massive artillery fortification at Fort George was built to suppress a future jacobite rebellion. It cost more than Scotland’s entire GNP, and was redundant by the time it was complete #tourguide #britainsbestguides

Teaching the Gay Gordons to the wonderful Carmen on our own private dance floor at #blaircastle - 40 years since we were forced to do this at school and I still need to count the steps 😳 #guidingisfun #tourguide #britainsbestguides

#kincraig guerilla knitters preparing for Halloween. They do such a good job here #tourguide #britainsbestguides

Lovely visit to #blaircastle. Dating to the 13thC it was one of the first stately homes in Scotland to open to the public, and attracts more visitors than any other home in the country. Home of the Dukes of Atholl, it is full of interesting items #tourguide #britainsbestguides

Driving home on one of my favourite roads, with one of my favourite views - #bealachratagan Held up by a typical highland traffic jam🙄 - sheep on the road #tourguide #britainsbestguides

Headed into this week as the weather threatening to change. Heavy rain forecast each day. End of season fatigue threatening but ended up with an amazing few days with Craig and Lorrie. Straight onto my list of favourite guests!! #tourguide #britainsbestguides

Waiting for the first crossing of the day on the #glenelg ferry. The worlds last hand operated turntable ferry crosses from the mainland to Skye #glenachulish #tourguide #britainsbestguides

Fab stop at @skyeweavers where they make tweed using a bicycle powered loom! My lovely guest Lorrie got the chance to burn off some breakfast pancake calories! #tourguide #britainsbestguides

Such a bonus when this becomes this! #glencoe #tourguide #britainsbestguides

Kilmartin Glen was the heart of the ancient power centre of Dalriada, the origins of the Scottish people. It’s a treasure trove of Pictish rock art, standing stones and burial cairns. It also has the amazing interpretative #kilmartinmuseum #tourguide #britainsbestguides

Glenfinnan railway viaduct was built over 125 years ago by #concretebob MacAlpine. Its innovative design made use of mass concrete. It overlooks the spot where Bonnie Prince Charlie raised his standard of rebellion in 1745 #nts #tourguide #britainsbestguides

Urquhart Castle dates to the 13thC, but on the site of a much older fort. Fought over during the Wars of Independence, and subject to raids by the MacDonalds, it was eventually destroyed during the Jacobite rebellions of the 18thC #tourguide #britainsbestguides

Collie and Mackenzie, pioneers of climbing in the #cuillins, looking over their playground. Skye has world class rock climbing and hiking with extremely challenging ridge walks #tourguide #britainsbestguides

Scotland isn’t letting go of its nice weather without a fight! Lovely day for a drive through #glencoe, with a stop at the #nts visitor centre to see their #turfandcreelhouse a wonderful reconstruction of a 17thC home #tourguide #britainsbestguides

Lovely drive north this week with stops at #carrbridge and #ruthvenbarracks. The barracks were built during the Jacobite rebellions as a base for government troops, and it was here the clans gathered after #culloden before dispersing #tourguide #britainsbestguides

Always a bonus when you beat the weather forecast! Expecting rain all day but, except for a shower, got this! #tourguide #britainsbestguides

As you come to the end of a hard season, it’s always nice to discover somebody else feels the same way you do - even if it’s only a statue!! #tourguide #britainsbestguides
