Old Town tour - Really good 2 hour tour of the Old Town, with some memorable and colourful stories (that I have been regaling my friends and family with following our trip). Euan was a great guide, pitched it at just the right level. Thoroughly enjoyable and good value for money I thought.

Local history was ok - The guide knew local history well. Not much mention of historical royals, more about townspeople. I felt the tour was a bit boring, two hours was too long.
