I'm Callum M., your private tour guide in Inverness

Guide #70838

Hello there! My name is Callum and my aim is to provide you with a truly memorable time exploring the wonderful Highlands of Scotland. I was born in Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, where I have lived and worked all my life. With a Macleod mother who was born on the island of Raasay between Skye and the Scottish mainland, and a Mackintosh father who was also born in Inverness, I have been steeped in the culture and history of the Highlands since birth. Having retired from a 36 year career as a high school teacher, becoming a tour guide in order to share my life-long love of the Highlands with visitors to the area was a very natural step. Specialising in tours of the Isle of Skye, the Isle of Raasay and the Loch Ness, Inverness and Culloden area, I hope to show you the very best of what the Highlands has to offer and provide you with an enjoyable and unforgettable experience. As well as the spectacular sights and breath-taking scenery, during our time together I will share my knowledge of Highland history and the myths and legends which have shaped the people and culture of this wonderful place. Each tour is planned to make the most of your time, with the day’s itinerary designed to your personal wishes and interests - a truly bespoke experience. We will travel in a comfortable and spacious SUV allowing you to sit back, relax and enjoy your day, taking time to savour the unique splendour of the Highlands as well as being able to access some of the less-visited treasures of the area. Whether you wish to see stunning mountains, visit historical castles, walk amongst beautiful landscapes, hear about local history and folklore or sample a ‘wee dram’ of whisky, your tour can be tailored to meet your personal tastes. Tour days can be combined for a longer, more immersive experience of what the region has to offer. With the flexibility of a personal driver, I can collect you from your holiday accommodation, cruise ship port, train station, bus or ferry terminal either returning to your day’s starting point or taking you to your ongoing destination.

    We can categorically declare that this was the most enjoyable, entertaining, informative, and overall wonderful tour of the several that we scheduled for our two weeks in Scotland. Callum M. was not only an excellent tour guide (and driver on those single-track Skye roads), but an amazing storyteller and conversationalist, making this scheduled eleven-hour trek an...

    I would give Callum 6 stars if I could. We are photographers and he shared with us some locations that captured the essence of Loch Ness and the Highlands. He is knowledgeable and personable, so we really enjoyed our day with him.

    We had the most wonderful trip to the Isle of Skye with our guide, Callum! He was incredibly knowledgeable about Scottish history, and we absolutely loved listening to his stories throughout the journey. He was fun, engaging, and made the entire experience so memorable. The Isle of Skye was breathtaking, but having such a fantastic guide made the trip even more special....
