Scottish Highland Fling 3 , NC, United States, Jun 2023
Besides the weather, it was a superb great time. We had the best tour guide you can have. Rosanne was reading and telling lots of local histories about the area Clans were just passing through. She had the great sense of humor and story telling. Really enjoyed the whole trip.
