Rosalyn chapel has so much history. The 9.00 fee covered the 15 minute presentation by a member of the working church. So much to see and learn about the history! The Abby where Robert the Bruce’s heart was but a skeleton - they are going thru renovation but it was so interesting to see it this was. We could not walk thru as the. Ceiling could fall down. It may take up to five years or more until we can see it inside -the Glenkinchi was a fun tour with three samples at the end! Stephanie was our guide from France - she was awesome! All in all- very nice

We had the opportunity to go on a 2nd timberbush tour with our guide Jim and it was great! A pleasant ride through the scottish borderlands to see rosslyn chapel, melrose abbey and the glenkinchie distillery. There were a couple of negative co-guests who complained they were cold/hot/had to pay for their own
add-ons...just generally drags.
Jim handled them professionally
and graciously. He saved the day.
He never ceased his kindness toward all. Much respect.
The scenery is stunning. All proprietary individuals we encountered were wonderful as well. Lovely day!
