A breathtaking and informative trip through Scottish ancient history.

This was the first of two tours with James/Alba Experiences during our stay in Glasgow. The amount of ancient Scottish history James packed into this excursion was impressive. We visited sites off the beaten path and his knowledge of each was incredible. He was always open to questions and was never without an answer. An absolutely amazing and educational experience. I cannot recommend James and Alba Experiences enough for any Scottish excursion.

Wonderful excursion

This was an awesome experience for anyone interested in standing stones, burial cairns, 4,000-5,000 year old cup & ring marks! James took us to several sites along the way such as Luss, Inveraray Castle, Rest & Be Thankful site! A day packed full of Scottish history and beautiful scenery! James is a great story teller & loves sharing his knowledge of Scotland.
