This was an excellent tour, and Sean was a great guide! Each of our tour guides seemed to add to the knowledge base we built up from listening to the others, and Sean's speciality was the castles in Northumberland, the high end hotel industry in Edinburgh, and cattle thievery along the Scottish Borders. We stopped off in Kelso for the ruins of a priory, Alnwick Castle, and another 2 castles (one was a "castle") - the names of which I've forgotten - and a little house on the Scottish side of the River Tweed that served as a spot for elopements of British couples looking to get hitched without family permission. We walked across the river from Scotland into England. A really great tour, and another really great guide!
