We did a private tour of Glasgow with Gerry, our tour guide. He picked us up at the cruise port (an easy and efficient process). We had reservations at Deanston Distillery and Gerry got us there with perfect timing. Next we visited the William Wallace monument. Along the way, Gerry was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He answered questions and shared history. Then we took a break for lunch at bird and Bees (recommended by Gerry). It was great- food, service, and atmosphere! Then we had a wonderful time at Stirling Castle. What a great visit- wonderful history and set up very well. The gardens are gorgeous! One last add on - Gerry got us a quick visit to the Kelpies! What a fabulous tribute to these working horses. The sculptures are amazing!
Lastly, Gerry got us back safely to our ship! I have such a high opinion of Scotland - much attributed to our tour and our fabulous tour guide!
