It was a super trip. The tour group was a mix of folks from US, Canada, Australia, & South Africa. Several of the US folks were from Hawaii. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and our coach driver was a capable and safe driver.
One of the group was blind and was an inspiration for folks with disabilities as he was always upbeat and pleasant. His wife was at full attention but he managed the stairways of the coach, walking tours, and dinners without a cane or any problems. Most of our accommodations were very nice but most days began early and ended late. It was nice to be able to see as much of this part of the British Isles as we were able.
Yes I did try hagas, it wasn't bad but I don't want to make it a staple in my diet. In Hawaii you have to try the Poi and in Scotland you have to try the Hagas. The poi tasted like wallpaper paste but the Hagas was more favorable. They told us that the original recipe was that all of the sheep was ground up for hagas except for the bones and skin but now the mix is more selective of components and wasn't that bad to taste. It was served at all breakfasts in Scotland.
