Scotland put on a glowing show! The scenery stunned—and since it was the month of the Military Tattoo, there were festivities and musical performances around every corner!

Our Tour Director, Colin, helped us experience the majesty and intimacy of Scotland. From the Lowlands to the Highlands, we saw so much. Music, food, atmosphere, and people were on display. Battlefields, ancient ruins, the Military Tattoo—bravo, Go Ahead Tours. Trip of a lifetime.
