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.

    We had the absolute pleasure of spending a full day with Brian on his Venture tour of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, Scotland’s first and most beautiful National Park. Brian was engaging, warm, and so knowledgeable about everything we saw. The lochs looked spectacular under the sun — we were so fortunate to have a day of immaculate weather. The serenity of the landscape...

    We enjoyed our day on the Isle of Arran with Brian. He picked us up at our hotel in Glasgow on time. He explained what the day would be like and gave us options on different things to do. The drive was very nice and his knowledge of the area extensive. Arran is a beautiful place and has many different landscapes within a small space. Brian made suggestions about what to...

    Wonderful tour, or as Brian says “no bad”. Loved everything about the tour, even the detour due to road closure. Now he has a new route to show everyone.
