Thanks for coming on the tour and I am so glad you enjoyed it especially our fairly untold story of the Spitfires above the Forth. Maybe see you again sometime.

Best hour we have spent in a long time! Mark was a wonderful, knowledgable guide as well as being highly entertaining. We have lived locally for years but were amazed at how much we learned. Highly recommended. Adrian and Jeanette

I went to Queensferry, lovely and ancient Royal Burgh, close Edinburgh. The Forth Bridge is a symbol for Scotland and I visited it with pleasure. I think that it's a place to see and visit again.

The tour's only operate during the spring / summer. Queensferry is still worth a visit. Go up onto the forth bridge for great views of the Railway Bridge and the new bridge. Hope you have a lovely visit.
