Colin was exactly what our adventures needed. We meshed right in with the Edinburgh culture and we had a grand time! My mom sometimes needs a wheelchair because she can get a bit winded and he made all of it so easy for us. I highly recommend him if you enjoy stories and culture and knowledge and history, he is your man. Plus he showed up and kilt and made my day!!!
