Hi, I'm Alan, born and bred in Scotland and a local expert for tailor made tours in and around my beautiful country. After many years working in the financial sector in Edinburgh's city centre, I decided to follow my deep-rooted passion for Scotland and all it has to offer, to become a tour guide. I focus on creating individually tailored escapades based on my travellers' personal tastes, using the expertise I gained from over 10 years of touring experience. From rugged mountains and mysterious lochs to the castles and palaces that make up Scotland's rich history, my knowledge and experience of all the hidden gems guarantee that you get the most out of your visit. Whether it's finding the best spot for an Instagram worthy picture, sampling a dram or two at one of our world-renowned distilleries, visiting some of the cult TV series 'Outlander' filming locations, feeding a Highland cow, fine dining or sampling our traditional haggis at a local pub, I'll make sure you experience Scotland at its best. One of the highlights of the work I do is meeting new people from all over the world. My relaxed and friendly approach allows me to not only share my stories but also customize your trip to ensure it meets all your needs. My tours will be carried out in a Mercedes V class so if you want an exclusive and extraordinary adventure in Scotland while travelling in luxury and comfort, I'd love to welcome you on board. Tour guide since 2017 and a whole lifetime of exploring my country and learning about its rich history. Full Driver's licence. My Vehicle can accommodate up to 7 passengers I will not be able to guide you inside any historical sites and monuments. These locations will have their own licensed staff/guides.

He even contacted us prior to the trip and provided the itinerary so that we know where we will be headed and the timing it would take to complete it. His ride the Mercedes V class was really comfortable to sit in with all seats facing forward which...

    We had the best day today. Alan was the perfect tour guide. We saw more of Scotland than we ever thought was possible! We visited The Kelpies, Stirling Castle, 2 Lochs, the highlands of Glencoe Pass, Forth Firth Bridge to Culross and so much more. The lunch he arranged for us at The Way Inn at the Kings House Hotel was delicious and the scenery awe inspiring. It was...

    Alan was a fabulous driver and tour guide! We saw so much and never felt rushed. We had a larger age range and everyone really enjoyed the day!
