- Incredibly informative and fun
Life sometimes takes strange paths and meetings. I met John while sitting on a park bench in NYC. Somehow we starting chatting, connecting over Scottish adventures and travel. I’m heading to the Highlands soon, and he has tremendous knowledge on the subject. His podcast is fantastic, a must for anyone heading on holiday to Scotland.

Apple Podcasts5Bee KimuraUnited States2 years ago - A visual tour of Scotland in you imagination
John Harbour does an amazing job of painting pictures of Scotland in your mind. He is an incredible storyteller who goes behind the mythology to share the history and legends of Scotland. It is so much more than a travel guide, I just wish the podcast had been available before our trip last year. I also love the periodic updates on the news in Scotland through John’s wit and humor. Enjoy!
