Scotland History Tours is here for people who want to learn about Scottish history and get ideas for Scottish history tours. I try to make videos which tell you tales from Scotland's past and give you information about key dates in Scottish history and historical places to visit in Scotland. Not all videos are tales from Scotland's history, some of them are about men from Scotland's past or women from Scotland's past. Basically the people who made Scotland. From April 2020 onward I've tried to give ideas for historic days out in Scotland. Essentially these are days out in Scotland for adults who are interested in historical places to visit in Scotland.
As a Scottish history tour guide people ask: Help me plan a Scottish holiday, or help me plan a Scottish vacation if your from the US. So I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.

What this man doesn't know about Scottish history isn't worth knowing. I wish his videos could be played for Scottish Schoolchildren. His passion and his love of truth about Scotland are amazing. Please contribute to his channel. I didn't learn any of this in school in Scotland.
Could u do a video about Morag's Faery ie Glen in Dunoon. My Grandad has always wanted to visit it. We were in Dunoon in the summer but he wasn't able to go as his legs aren't the same he's 82
@@hibee2k11is that in the middle of the Island,up the Hill??
This is a cracking glen to visit. I first went there when i was tracing the path of the Knights Templar ( see the gravestones in Kilmartin chapel ) when they were forced to flee France. I was amazed by the neolithic and iron age sites in the glen itself. I have since camped in the area many times, and have studied as much as i can. I would highly recomend a visit to Kilmartin. I did have a rather nice lunch in the local inn. This is a must see glen for anyone interested in history.
Is that the crypt wíth the Knights carved into slabstones!
@@Sandwich13455 Yes. The reason i was trying to track the movement of the Templars that fled the persecution in France, was because i had found hints that the so called bagage train and camp followers that joined the fighting at the end of the battle of Bannockburn, and hastened the retreat of the English army, may have infact been a body of Knights Templar. This always made more sense to me, than a group of poorly armed peasants chasing away , what was the finest fighting force in Europe at the time. It also made sense that the Knights Templar would need to find a safe haven, and Scotland was also excomunicated at that time, due to De Bruce commiting murder on holy ground. Scotland would have been the ideal safe haven. Fairly easy to sail to from France.
@@wulfcogle9988 Scotland had many Templar groups , who were already here at the time of there trumped up charges off heresy , some maybe did come here , who knows. Any place with the name Temple in it usually has a connection to them , the story of them at Bannockburn is a nice idea but if they did fight they would have been in ordinary clothes and not the Templar surcoats . I think the best theory of where french ones went was to America but we might never know , they have kept a lot of people busy trying to find out .
I've been exploring and researching too mate and I am looking forward to visiting kilmartin.
I have explored an area that includes the knights templar, Robert the Bruce, William Wallace and so on.
Feel free to give me a message and here's hoping we can share our knowledge.
I'm in love with the History of my country, you bring it alive and the format of telling a story, if only my old history teacher did this. Thanks for all your work Bruce. I learn something from every episode. History is often written by the victors, you balance this. Thanks mate
My pleasure!
‘The similar cairns’ in Ireland became thought of as the homes to faeries, places surrounded by superstition and were places to be avoided. So there appears to be a disconnect between modern Irish and the people that built them. And the Irish cycles talk about ‘tuatha de dannan’ mystical people or maybe gods - perhaps faeries are gods when they are taken really seriously. Tuatha appears to mean in Irish Gaelic people of an area, (with ‘a’ meaning pluralisation), and in Scots Gaelic tuath means ‘north’. (Dannan appears to have been added later to differentiate between the Christian god and those other ones.) Genetically, modern Irish have links to the Iberian peninsula and therefore, so do Scots. So, to me, it does not feel like a huge leap to say that the cairns were built by people that were already here by the time The Celts arrived, (it pretty much says this in the cycles, as far as I can tell), who appear to be remembered by the inheritors of the land as faeries, gods or somewhat unearthly beings.
Perhaps new people ended the use of them - maybe this was the change.
I stay in the central belt of Scotland, all of this amazing stuff is just a drive away. Scottish people don’t understand how lucky we are not to only have such beautiful lands but beautiful history ( apart from all the blood ,gutts and wars 🗡 🤣 and that )
I love your videos, thanks for making history a wee bit more exciting x
You're welcome
There is something special in Kilmartin Glen, something difiicult to put in words. It touches your soul, it makes you feel peaceful, And yes, you don't want to leave, just stay. Or come back. Again and again.
Thank you for this video about Kilmartin Glen. My best place in Scotland.
What a beautiful and magic place. In Wiltshire we get used to standing stones and burial mounds which litter the landscape here, but each time I stand and reflect by one I realise how wonderful they are and how lucky we are to still have them.
Was there just before Easter
Great to see a bird's-eye view of precisely where we walked
Thanks, Bruce and Team!
Have you ever made a video on Ewen mcpherson and the english hunting him for 9 years after culloden. The macpherson museum is a must visit for the full story told by the tour guide.
Beautiful almost a beautiful as New Zealand 🇳🇿 ❤️ Thanks De Bruce this is awesome No country can beat Scotland 🏴 for the History
Much .ess volcanoy
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Scotland is as uniquely beautiful as any other country.
Our family originated from Kilmartin . When they emigrated to Canada, these homesteaders also came to call their thriving new southwestern Ontario settlement: Kilmartin . To serve as a reminder of the deep roots they still held back home. The original settlement is long gone; but Kilmartin church still remains as the rural community's heart.
Wonder what happened to the indigenous folk in southwestern Ontario ... oh wait we found some of their children killed and buried under an orphanage...
@@tariq_sharif I tell all my Native friends we were still in Ireland before all that and my Irish native ancestors were treated the same way by the Royalists. Didn't natives also kill natives. We need to stop the hate and remember we are all Earthlings and Earth is our home and a majority of us never give back only take from her. Do you ever ask your self how many natives would be left if a different type of government had taken over. As bad as the Royalists were they didn't kill all our ancestors and we need to seek fairness for the future generations.
@@JohnnyAtlas Goodness what a convulted apologetic for the barbarism of the British against the Irish (ever learn of the how many starved in the famines, as a direct result of their actions, the manner in which they indigenoues were dispossesed of their land, and to work it, whilst the food was shipped to the mainland ?
Yes, i agree, reconciliation is to be desired and the descendants of those royalists, slave owners etc etc have noting to be ashamed about. But the continued privilege they enjoy even today at the expense of all indigenous people needs to be called out every time ... until then NO fairness can be achived today or in future
@@tariq_sharif yes I have and I know full well of the crimes but I believe everyone born in Canada should have all the same rights no matter who their parents are. We can't blame the children for the sins of their fathers. Not all Europeans or non-indigenous are responsible for crimes against the indigenous tribes of the Americas. We all have had our history and heritage crimes against us by one invader or religious cult. I was brought up Catholic, did I have a choice...no I didn't. I was born with no indigenous parents did I have a choice.. no I didn't. What is your endgame, do all non-indigenous have to leave the Americas, pay more taxes or put natives in charge. What needs to happen for you to feel justice, peace in your heart and not judge our children.
OMG…can’t believe they used the ancient stones in the roads….Wonderful Vlog …Our bonnie Scotland is a treasure trove of history indeed….
Beautiful Scotland wish to visit this places on your channel watching from England
You should!
This is so beautiful Bruce. Wow you have totally nailed it . Well done laddie master class in how to sell your history and culture, flawless. Brings a tear to the eye seeing how beautiful the landscapes are and so much history in such a small area again Wow. Slán abhaile
Bruce Fummey is a treasure. I never knew who he was until he started telling the stories of Scotland. Our ancestors were not knuckle draggers. There was a thriving culture and economy. Scotland and Ireland are in sight of each other through the islands. We're cousins. I'd really like to see you cover Iona, because of Neil Gaiman - In Relig Odhráin. In the US for ages there were native bones used in the foundations of every church built. But since Neil wrote a poem that is more famous than those of us lesser poets.
Am definitely gonna hoy it on my list of stuff to see once I get transportation again since we lost our car thanks to this c19 turd sandwich ..much love from Northumberland xx
Terrific video Bruce, great wee talk and outstanding drone shots. Especially liked the view of the castle built by the church rector. Whenever I see stone circles and cairns I feel that it would be great to go out into the wilds and just build a wee bothy using what stones were lying around if I were younger.
Thanks for another guid one!
Cheers...Freddie
Thanks so much for this video. It's probably the closest I'll ever get to seeing the lands of my highlander forebears who lived their lives in the shadow of Dunadd before coming to Australia.
This is quite magnificently filmed! excellent commentary too. And I heartily agree that Kilmartin Glen is an absolutely must-visit location. A magical place.
What amazes me is almost everywhere in Scotland has layers of history when you stop and look.
Except Cumbernauld. I hate Cumbernauld.
The history of roundabouts must be facinating
Form an orderly cu......see what I did there?.
Ah, yes, Kilmory Oib. The plaque as you approach gives the sanitised version. "The people lived here for at least 350 years, then they left."
I worked and lived in Argyll and have been back several times to delve into the past on display, still only scratched the surface. Fantastic area.
Oh wow!❤ I love the prehistoric. Scotland has so much to add to the picture of our ancestors. They were trading, traveling, interacting with so many communities all over. Many of those other places have artifacts that originated from Scotland, but where they lived most have yet to be found. The islands of Scotland are only now starting to unearth their tales as well as some mainland site’s. But the truth of Scotland staying true through out history (the bell beakers, Roman’s, Vikings). All these peoples from far off always seem to have interactions with the ancient Scott’s but none seem to have pushed in. I see a respect and reverence for the peoples of old in the archeological evidence that spread out over most of Europe. Imagine all the stories that have yet to be found again and you can’t help but be excited 😊
You should be granted an honorary Phd from some University on your history knowledge. Shalom my brother.
My great-great grandmother, Isabelle Rowan was born in Kilmarten area. We will be seeing it next trip. So glad to see this here now.
check out maryculter house , its a hotel now, but built by the templars and lots of history surrounding it, the owner had surveys done trying to search for hidden templar treasure on the site , apparently has a hidden tunnel that goes all the way to the coast, about 11 miles away
Hell Bruce, We are back in a covid lockdown here in NSW Australia and and im greatful for you channel.
I was in killmartin Glen years ago and it was one of my favourite places to visit. It was kind of like a pilgrimage to visit Dunadd fort to place my foot where kings before had placed there's whilst also seeing the majestic standing stones and pict carvings.
Kill martin Glen, Callanish,outer hebrides, Glencoe and the isle of skye are my favourite places in Scotland and only can say a certain sense of Magic is still there.
Thanks Bruce Fummey for keeping us entertained and filling us with great historical content!
Bruce, I have a wee Pottery across from Govan Old Parish Church, I'm making work for them. Next time you and your family are in the area, drop in and I'll get you making a neolithic pot. I'll get the good Tunnocks in for you,( and it's not even Christmas!) Just a wee thanks for these fantastic videos.
Now that's interesting. Do you do like living history type skills?
Awesome .
Even more reasons to visit the land of my ancestors.
Stunningly beautiful.
I'll get there one day.
Thanks Bruce.
Spectacular footage. I'll be there in 37 days. Thanks for the tour de force of an amazing landscape brimming with neolithic treasures. I truly enjoyed this. It made me want to go throw rocks at my own drone footage. Thank You!!
Wohoo
Just a wee message Bruce, I went here today and followed all the places you went in this video. I took a picture of my son Conall who's 4 on the footprint up on the Dunadd fort. Anyway we had a great day with me pretending to him he's King Conall of Dal Riata, well I've went down a hole with it when we've came home and Ive had to inform him he's actually King Conall II as there was another in around 558 AD. Inspiring new generations with videos youve made on you tube. Sláinte.
🤣🤣🤣Brilliant
Time and circumstances have made it clear that my decades old desire to visit Scotland is not to be, so I'm thankful for videos like this that allow me to tele-visit the places I'll never get to see. Thank you, Bruce for another great video!
Ah Faith ye've got me nearly greetin. I have to keep making these now
I've just recently been on a road trip around the West Coast of Scotland. I wish I'd known about this before I set off. Absolutely stunning narration and dronework. Best instant history tour I've yet seen on the Tube. Keep them coming, Bruce. I will make a point of visiting this place.
Glad it was helpful!
A lovely video of a wonderful historic place. I love the Stone age & Bronze age.
As to Lithic....Lithic means quite simply, stone these are the three ages of lithic from earliest to before the Bronze age.
Paleolithic... Old stone...Mesolithic...Middle stone....Neolithic, New stone....Bronze age :)
Thank you for the explanation . I never knew the meaning of the different ages . I wish school had been so interesting .
@@rickmoore3730 Glad I could have been of help to you :)
Iron age came after the Bronze age. When man started to use iron.
The Iron age is when the first druids was in the UK & Boudicca fought against the Romans :)
All the best :) \m/
Another cracking wee "story". Excellent drone work too...and a bonnie day for it.
Thank you for this great video. I lived in kilmichael glen as a teenager but I never appreciated what an amazing area it was. Now I love the history and the beautiful scenery. This has been an absolute pleasure to watch. Thanks again.
Beautifully and warmly narrated and delivered in a way that makes the face easy to absorb. A great flow of enthusiasm, reverence and knowledge. Thank you
You made me feel like I was right there with you. I appreciate that.
Yay
Bruce, I came upon your well planned and executed videos just while back but since then I've followed them religiously - maistly fur the banter! I must say, this is such a beautiful piece you've done here. The drone footage whilst narrated is quite something. Well played sir, for a Scotsman living in London - I do yearn for the heartland when I watch you. It's a unique thing you're doing and I don't think anyone else could do it better. Dave
Wow, thanks
This is the best stream I’ve seen on this area. You make Scottish history very interesting to me. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
Tremendous. I'm a Kilmartin on my mother's side. Visited the village and church as a kid. I remember it was a long journey from Sunderland!
Beautiful county! Excellently done drone footage, thanks Bruce for the historically tour of an amazing location. 💖
You are very welcome
Should have met for that coffee, lol. That's not Kilmory Oib, that's Arichonan. There is no evidence that Kilmory was "cleared' as such. Arichonan, however, has police records relating to the riots that ensued when folk resisted expulsion. 🏴
Hey I was there waiting😎 I only read what I read and try to make nice videos. I read that they joined in support of the campaign and tried to choose my words carefully.
Brilliant work Bruce, I spent a few days in the glen back in 1997 but seeing it as you've shown it here is just brilliant. Your video shows how close everything is and your commentary gives clarity to what we're seeing. Hopefully I'll get back there again one day , but in the interim I'll keep watching your videos. All the best and many thanks 👍
This is definitely an amazing landscape with equally amazing sites and structures. I consider myself fortunate to have had the chance to see it all first hand and would highly advise anybody traveling to Scotland to check it out.
It's amazing so much of these convenient piles of building material survived, what with all the walls and roads to be constructed. Makes you wonder if they were always respected or indeed what might have been lost.
Love this! My 5th G Grandparents from Kilmartin.Visited in 2018 with my Daughters. Magical place !!!!!
Next holiday destination sorted. Thank you.
Wonderful!
Kilmartin was previously a destination for the international motocross world championships round sadly, there was a fatality and it was considered that the ‘Tower Jump’ was too dangerous and would no longer be included in the world championships tour. I believe the rider was Belgian and I the following years they always had a collection to help with his recovery costs. The Glen where the track was beautiful and directly across the Glen golden eagles could be seen circling in the skies, stunning. Well Bruce I’m enjoying your channel and watch 1 video a day to stretch oot that enjoyment, it makes sense tae me anywiy. I’ve another queued up for tonight I’m back tracking here coz I commented but didn’t press POST. Bruce take Nae notice of folks having a go, they’re jealous that you goat aff yir arse and DID IT instead of like them sat there dain FUQ aw, a wee bit like masel😀 Difference is I love seeing folk dae well, I’m not the jealous type. And anyway if we were aw the same I’d have topped masel long ago, and just coz I’m a lazy barsteward doesn’t mean we aw have tae be. Keep at it Bruce 💚☮️🌎
Remember going to motocross, Rab Allens scramble, here every year and playing in the castle.
My dad was from kilmarnock, Ayrshire. A proud Scottish nationalist. He would have loved your videos, mate. It turns out we're descended from Niall Noígíallach
Fascinating glen, with much to see, particularly Neolithic, Iron Age, Dark Age and some mediaeval. Sadly, tempting as it sounds, the Templar theory is what's known locally as "mince". Fun mince, though.
This glen is the traditional lands of clans like Malcolm and MacLachlan, as well as my clan - MacTavish. The Chief of Clan MacTavish was actually executed in view of Carnasserie Castle for supporting the Earl of Agyll during that 1685 rebellion. This act led to the castle's surrender. The castle garrison had some MacTavish men in it as well. I wish the later Duke of Argyll remembered that when our later Chief conspired with Campbell of Auchenbreck to raise for the Jacobites in 1745... The Crinan Canal was built across the middle of MacTavish lands, cutting it into two - perhaps as punishment for the clan's Jacobite sympathies. This made it harder to work continuously, and the MacTavish Chief had to sell the land to pay debts he was sddled with
I don’t know but they don’t look like script or hieroglyphs. The marks on the stones above Cairnbaan almost look like a map. As if mapping ‘islands’. Perhaps mapping the area of The Ad and The Moine Mor, or perhaps back towards Achnabreck and Badden. Maybe it was used for calculating required tithes.
There’s a foot print not so far away that was used to prove kingship. So, people equated the carvings with a stamp on both them and the land.
(Just musings)
Hmmm. Perhaps they built not for rituals, but to take cover. Or as above, so below. Humans communicating with the gods themselves, those seen in the skies.
Symbols might be explained here
ua-cam.com/video/t7EAlTcZFwY/v-deo.html
Or standing stones, the tower & mountain & sword of the god...
I haven’t been there since the summer of 1999. I am glad to see it is still as beautiful as I remember. Nice aerial shots, they weren’t really an option back then.
I wish I knew of this place when I travelled through Scotland in the year 1 BC (1 year Before Children).
Really interesting point about how big of a sacrifice it would've been to give up this valuable farmland.
Well, I am crazy. However, tha would not prevent me visiting.
Thank you for your excellent educational video which is well researched and presented. I have driven through Kilmartin several times and didn't know any of this, next time I shall stop and see for myself.
Love your videos . I live in kilmichael glen next door as it were. There are also cup and ring marks and standing stones there as well achnabreac where your tour started is probably closer to kilmichael than kilmartin but then again . I’m probably slightly biased in that regard. I love your history talks and don’t know how I missed this one.keep up the good work , I was also brought up in Pitlochry , so I had the best of both worlds. Saor Alba
If you visit Dunino den below the church, the same but deeper Stoop and footprint can be found - Fife Royalty?
To think, that from Dunadd, Scot and Pict would unite and form a nation that still leaves an impression around the world. From that wee footprint in stone, would arise a people whose descedants would influence so many lands and peoples to great heights in every aspect of life.
What those stones have witnessed over the eons, Great Tragedies and Great Successes, and still like lonely sentinals, they keep watch.
For years I wondered why the Jacobites were called Jacobites. This man answered that question and I didn't even ask.
Now Neil Oliver has disappeared into a land of paranoia and God knows what, I think it's imperative that a replacement is found asap. The person needs to be interesting and know their stuff and perhaps be able to relate Scottish history with a gentle hint of comedy.
I do wonder if the person we need has been on you tube for the last few years
Thanks so much gentleman! I'm French but my clan from the mountains of North Africa. We have a so amazing similar history, that I must visit and study this glen. Hope I should meet you soon 🙏
I was rained out in chamonix many moons ago so on return, a mate n I took off on the cycles and we went up the west coast.
Kilmartin glen took a whole day to get through, gettin off and visiting, getting on and repeat..
Glorious weather and grand experience...welcome home indeed.
Then it was a race to get to oban and campsite. Fantastic glen...
Well done Bruce...
Spent a day there back in 2019 and still didn’t see everything.
I will have to go back on my next trip to finish up
Just returned from my first visit. I need today longer and soon. I loved it,it is indeed a very special place.
Oh, and my foot fitted the stone at Dunnad.
LOL, Given a choice between Scotland and Tear Na OG, I would not choose Scotland.
I dont know iff you allready did a video on this subject but i would love to see a video from you about the Flemish
immigrations towards Scotland.
Not only informative, but lyrical. And how!
Of course Dunadd was always there. What would the Neolithic ancestors be doing with it?
Smashing video.
I loved the warrior graves in Kilmartin graveyard. Beautiful place. I like the giant standing stone en route to oban.
I thank you for your passion, your due diligence and for being my brother. Beautifully presented.
Just came back from a small village near dunett head at the most Northern point of the mainland, the village I was at called portskerra has its own sad bit of history.
In 1918 with all the young men away at war it fell to the old men to fill the gap. However as a result when storms of the North sea struck half the village was wiped out and drowned off of the cliffs. A memorial stands overlooking the sea and on a good day you can see the Orkney isle's in the distance.
This guy is an Awesome story teller and why history must not be destroyed.
comparing this to Egypt is like comparing my kids art to The Mona Lisa
great video and history
I went there yesterday on my motorbike and had an incredible day. What an amazing part of an amazing country! Cheers Bruce!
Yay
They weren’t prehistoric Scott’s, the were just people that lived there at that time…..
Mmmmm, 5000yo cream n jeely scones...aàrrrrggghh drool drool. Dinny eat them aw at once Bruce. Still loving the braw graft m8. The best black, Scottish historian I've seen this millennium. Looking forward ( as always ) Tae the next one. Thanks.
😜
You should do episodes of must see places in Scotland, it goes hand in hand with your content anyway, you tell the history of the country and show us the scenery. Top man, New video in morning while having my coffee 👌
I thought that's what I was doing😂
Gight castle near Fyvie. ..if you can find it or have read the old poem of it's history is a forgotten gem
Don’t forget Dunadd…. Then go to Dunino in Fife to see a similar stoop and footprint.
I love this place you can spend days here and the cup and ring marked stones.....
Afterwards go south to Tarbert ,a place of great history by its self.
I was there in the mid 90's and was blown away. I have told everybody to go.
Where can I find more history of my family Inveresk Neills
To think of the number of motorcycle rallies I have attended in the last 30 odd years and knew NOTHING about the local history of where I was visiting. Maybe with a more sober head and a wee bit more time I should take the motorbike back to Kilmartin and explore. THANK YOU for further opening my eyes tae ma ain folks stories. WHY didn't this get taught in school in Scotland? My dad didn't speak gaelic because his grandparents thought that the English language was that of the future and success. Many years later as a retired cop he taught himself gaelic.
Aye, it's an old tale
Looking forward to seeing this channel blow up! Great channel with great content.
I appreciate that!
I remember visiting Dunchraigaig cairn, over 40 years ago when I had first moved to Argyll. it was a gloomy winters afternoon, made more gloomy by the trees surounding the cairn. I startled a sheep, which was hidden in the most southerly side kist, obviously seeking warmth. It scared the living daylights out of me, when it errupted out of its' hidey-hole. Luckily I was wearing brown trousers, that day.
🤣
This is such a beautiful video, such beautiful landscapes and you are such a great story teller ! Thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve found my new favourite channel! Have you been to the Tapoch Broch at Torwoodhill near Falkirk? I grew up near there and rumour was William Wallace camped there in the run up to the Battle of Stirling Bridge. Well worth a look if you’re ever in the area, your drone would get a real perspective of the size of these Iron Age forts. Torwoodhill also has a castle, which was a private residence when I was a boy, I think it’s in a bit of a state now, and “The Blue Pool” which is a bit of an oddity. Now to binge the rest of your videos which is fuelling my desire to get back home!
Good shout
My favourite place in the UK. 👀👍
Forward slash its really an advert for me....
Forward slash its really an advert for me....
Hi Bruce and Zack, than you for assisting us with our Jacobite Inverness query. Another place we will be visiting is Kilmartin Glen and while watching your video on Kilmartin Glen, we have this question: you have said on the top of Dunadd hillfort, is the footprint caned into the rock for the Kings to place their foot for union with the land. Is that still there or has it been moved?
It's still there
The area was also where lady ballymeanoch went full game of thrones Red wedding style and killed all her enemies at a dinner.
You also have the Templar Knights Chapel at Kilmory AND the Irish Scots at Dunadd.
There's just too much to fit in
That's WODERFUL Drone filming!!!
Big thanks to Liam McNamara
I’m new here. Please tell what is the gaelic translation at the end? A wonderful storyteller Bruce! 🤟🏾💙i have always wanted to visit this country, maybe now i never will ,but thanks to you i can.❤️
People often ask this, which is why I put T-shirts and mugs with the phrase in my merchandise shop and translations on the product pages. See what I did?😜
www.scotlandhistorytours.co.uk/shop
It’s really serendipitous you posted this. I sent you a request for quote of private tour of Dalriata/early Argyle through your website. Since then I have the whole thing planned using google maps. Kilmartin is top of the list of course. But what about Iona? I think you might have a fun time there harassing the tourists :)
I just replied to your enquiry by email. Thanks
