Very entertaining walk through Elgin and a dark time in its history. Enthralling from start to finish, our guide had a fantastic ability to not stick to a script, but to respond to questions by weaving answers into the wider story. Incredible local knowledge and storytelling skills. Geat value and highly recommended.
