Scotland tour at its best
Abbots House Dunfermline Private Walking Tour Culross Palace - Walking Tour

walking tour in Scotland

Featuring old cattle drove roads and Wades military roads and off-the-road places of significance, the Lowland and Highland walking folklore walks will be a mix of walking and talking about history and folklore, using our imaginations to recreate the old routes and landscapes, the folklore (customs and beliefs, dress, and foodways of the people), the opportunities and threats that they faced (like the reiver and cattle lifting). Accommodation can be arranged to the level that you require. Please email for more information.
