Guide #25549
Hello, my name is James and I am deeply passionate about Scotland and all things Scottish. I am very proud and privileged to be able to share my beautiful country with visitors from all over the world. I have been very lucky that I have had the opportunity to travel all across this beautiful country over the years, seeing some impressive sights and visiting some incredible places, including being in Balmoral Castle while the Queen was in residence (but that's a story for another time). There are so many wonderful, wild and mysterious places in Scotland and I would love to be able to share them with you. From the castles and architecture in out ancient cities to the vast expanse of wilderness in our hills and glens, there really is so much to see and explore. It would be my honor to show you the sights of this amazing wee country, and leave you with memories that will last a lifetime, with lots of fun and laughs along the way. Red Cross First Aid Certificate Whisky Ambassador I have been guiding since my early 20's all over the world but I love guiding in my home country of Scotland. Please note; I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of historical monuments. I can, however, accompany you inside and provide a brief overview.

James K. is an outstanding tour guide who is very knowledgeable about the places we visited and their histories. We focused our tour on Outlander and he showed us so much more. He was able to get us to areas before the tourists so we had time to explore in peace. He told us interesting stories about being an extra on the show. I would highly recommend James K. for any...

July 2026Jeffrey, it was my pleasure, maybe see you all again down the road :)
We (5 adults) came in on a cruise ship and wanted a more personal tour than the typical packed cattle bus that the cruise ships offer. After several positive reviews, we decided to go with James K. We booked an all day tour. James was very professional and very informative. He communicated with me prior to the tour so we were prepared and experienced no unwanted...
