Welcome to the forum!
Have you read the reviews on the tour page?
I'll just add that all Rick Steves tours are limited to 28 people, and the weather in Scotland is known for varying widely even in a 24 hour period.
I haven't taken a RS tour in Scotland, but we did a walking tour with a different tour company in early September of 2023, we loved it. We lucked out with the weather and had beautiful sunshine the entire week we were in the Highlands. We arrived in Edinburgh just as the Military Tattoo had ended on August 31st, spent a few days there on our own and then took a train to Glasgow to meet up with our tour group. I wish I had spent more time in Scotland and hope to make it back someday soon.
