"We had a brilliant private tour of the Isle of Skye, which left us feeling so well informed about the history of the island through the ages. We visited areas of natural beauty such as the Quiraing and An Corran beach, as well as places of historic interest which included an Iron Age broch and Duntulm Castle. Shauna has in-depth knowledge of the history and geology of Skye and entertained us with stories about the many characters of the island's past. It was a joy to spend the day with Shauna and gain a local perspective of the island."
