A really good experience and Steven was very interesting as he gave his take on the events surrounding the battlefield and the various characters involved. He is obviously very passionate about Scottish history (very knowledgeable) and has a great storytelling manner. His lovely dog Molly was an added bonus. This activity is well worth the very reasonable ticket price. As this was an outside walking tour there was plenty of self distancing that minimised any need for PPE although you could wear masks if you wanted too.My husband and I had a great tour from Steven and surprise but wonderful guide Molly today. It was a last minute booking for my birthday today and it’s been the highlight.
