With nearly 20 years of experience in the tourism industry and over 25 years working within the hospitality sector, I am passionate about creating unforgettable experiences for visitors exploring Scotland. After travelling extensively around the world, I decided to return home and establish my own tour company, allowing me to share the landscapes, stories, and culture of Scotland in a more personal way. My goal is simple — to make sure every guest has the best possible experience during their time in Scotland. Whether it's visiting iconic filming locations from the hit TV series Outlander, discovering hidden gems far from the usual tourist routes, or exploring the breathtaking Scottish countryside, I always go the extra mile to ensure each tour is memorable and unique. Alongside guiding, I am also an award-winning photographer with an HND in Photography (2015). I love spending time outdoors capturing Scotland’s incredible landscapes, and this passion naturally carries over into my tours. I enjoy guiding throughout the country, but some of my favourite experiences include visiting the famous Outlander filming locations (I even appeared as an extra in Seasons 3 and 4!), exploring the dramatic beauty of the Isle of Skye, and travelling through the wild mountains and glens of the Scottish Highlands. Every tour I offer can also be customised to suit your interests, ensuring a truly personal Scottish experience.

    We had a tour of Western Scotland and it was a great experience from start to finish. James's knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour both informative and enjoyable. He has an impressive depth of knowledge about the country. He answered all questions and provided helpful recommendations for further trips. We highly recommend James.

    This tour was the highlight of our 2 week Scotland vacation. James took us to the places I wanted to see (ruined castle and chapel associated with our ancestors) and then filled in the rest of the tour with amazing places to see along the way. We shared a wee dram on the bonny shores of Lock Lomond, saw standing and ruined castles, saw pre-historic stone carvings. ...

    James was wonderful! He listened to what we were interested in and made sure he got us what we wanted (within his control). We can honestly say this has been the best day on our entire cruise! He showed us the real Scotland and we will be back.
