Scotland Made Even More Amazing - We just spent 2 days with Ray Crosby touring the Scottish Highlands and other Outlander locales. What a fantastic experience! In addition to the show locations, we went through the Culloden battlefield and Glen Coe with Ray. He is an unending source of local knowledge, as well as Scottish history. Part of the attraction of the Outlander show is the historical ties to the Jacobite rebellion and its aftermath. Ray put all the action and events into inspired explanations and made each day fascinating. The weather was by and large perfect (except for our afternoon in Glen Coe) so the exhilarating Scottish scenery was on full display as well. I would unhesitatingly recommend Ray for any Scottish tour desires. Our tentative plans to be in Scotland again next year will certainly include calling Ray again. Strongly recommend.
