  "I just want to pass on to everyone at Back-Roads what a fabulous trip I had and that certainly includes my Backroads tour of Scotland, which was fantastic. I didn't know much about your company and must admit I lobbed up to Glasgow airport at the start of the tour with some trepidation, but it all turned out fabulously. Please, pass on my thanks to Stuart, our driver and tour guide, who managed to put up with all of us."
