Hi, I am Brian and was born and bred in Lanarkshire, Bonnie Scotland. I have worked and travelled in Glasgow and the West of Scotland for the last 30 years as a Chartered Surveyor. On my travels I visited some of the amazing locations that Scotland has to offer. I am biased but we must have the richest country in the world in terms of scenery and culture. I have recently retired and now want to share the history, culture and scenery of this wonderful wee country with others. I speak fluent English with a soft Glasgow accent and studied French at school which I have totally forgotten. I am currently learning Spanish , however, my Spanish is very basic and used when I go to foreign shores to order food. In summary my tours will be in English. I am a keen golfer(currently doing my coaching certificates) and musician (well I play the drums) and love to joke and learn about others. I can therefore, guarantee you that our journey will be entertaining. I drive a Mercedes Benz GLC which has air conditioning and can accommodate 4 passengers plus the driver. You will therefore, have a very comfortable journey. Walking tours in isolation will of course not involve the car. My tours are fun and engaging and can be altered to suit specific requirements so please feel free to ask. I became a guide to meet new and exciting people and hope that my enthusiasm for Scotland will be obvious and add to the enjoyment of your vacation. Hope to see you soon Brian BSc in Land Economics Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors Associate of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators Level 1 PGA Golf Coach For my driving tours only,I have an air-conditioned Mercedes Benz GLC that can carry the driver plus 4 passengers. All my tours include walking, however, there is no need to be an Olympic athlete as the pace is gentle. My tours are in English only.

    Brian was an excellent tour guide. He was personable, engaging, interactive, knowledgeable, flexible, adaptable and an overall a good guy. He shared his love and knowledge of the Loch Lomand and Trossachs area. Because of Brian, we were able to enjoy not only major tourist sites but also a few lesser known. Brian was terrific at communicating before the tour on...
