Our Guide and Driver

Our coach driver, Stevie, and tour guide, Maggie, are both from Scotland and had wonderful accents. Every once in a while Maggie would throw out a Gaelic word for us to learn. Barbara’s favorite is “shambolic” which means “in a shambles.” (“Shambolic” is the adjective related to the noun “shambles.”) Stevie and Maggie also bantered back and forth, and that was quite a lot of fun. Here are pictures of them and our coach.



This is a new coach for 2013 and 12 feet longer than the one Stevie drove for Marion Scoular’s tour in 2012. It is HUGE! It holds 56 passengers – plenty of space for the 20 passengers it carried (18 tour members, Marion Scoular, and Maggie McQuade). We each had our own 2-seat “compartment” – great for the items we picked up along the way.
