• 5Discovering Scotlands Middle with Big Al.

  The tour company was Discover Scotland tours . “Big Al” the tour guide was excellent with a knowledgeable and interesting commentary. He kept us informed and entertained, even when there was a traffic jam that added an extra hour on our trip. The Loch Ness cruise was an extra expense, but worth it. There were frequent, well-planned toilet stops and photo opportunity stops. The bus was very comfortable with good lumber support seats.

• 5Fun in the Highlands

  We had such a wonderful time with our guide Harry! He was friendly, knowledgeable and funny. It was great to learn about Scotland while visiting the lovely Lochs and Highlands. Harry gave us plenty of time to visit all the major stops. He gave us lots of photos stops and always offered to take our photo as well as suggest the best place to take the photos. Harry was a delight and I will definitely recommend this tour again. From the Highlands to the Lochs. From Nessy to Hairy Coos a good time was had by all. Also Harry music selection was fire!!!

About Glasgow

Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, a Victorian port on the Clyde with galleries, live music and red-sandstone terraces, and Loch Lomond close by.

Glasgow grew on the River Clyde through shipbuilding, tobacco and trade, and its Victorian wealth shows in the red sandstone of its terraces, museums and merchant halls. The medieval cathedral, which survived the Reformation intact, stands beside the Necropolis, a hill of Victorian tombs. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, a red-stone palace, holds Salvador Dalí's Christ of St John of the Cross and a Spitfire hanging in its hall.

Top-ranked sights in Glasgow: Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park, Glasgow Cathedral, George Square.
