Haggis Adventure staff especially Gillian Super Gill is the funniest storyteller I have met and heard...very entertaining and lots of funny jokes and not a bad singer LOL...Thanks for all the information and accommodation the tour guide had extended to our group. Keep up the good work. As it says Budget tour yet perfect enough for a glimpse of the highlands venue. Two thumbs up!
