is a Scottish Highlands historian and a private tour guide with over eighteen years experience specialising in multi-day guided tours for small groups (up to 3) from Inverness and Edinburgh to the Isle of Skye, Outer Hebrides, Orkney, Shetland and throughout the Scottish Highlands.
Refined over eighteen years, these eight signature private tours from Inverness explore the dramatic landscapes, ancient history and cultural heritage of the Scottish Highlands and Islands with a travel experience focused on comfort and a relaxed pace.
For a start from the capital, these three Grand private tours from Edinburgh offer a comprehensive journey to the Highlands and Islands, providing the same historian-led exploration and relaxed pace as my signature tours from Inverness.
Getting off the beaten track and exploring the best of the region is always the aim. Private tours are designed to ensure the right balance between travelling and time spent discovering the breathtaking landscapes, deep-rooted history and rich cultural heritage of the Scottish Highlands and Islands.
