Guide #43455

Beannachdan bho Alba !! (greetings from Scotland) Thank you very much for checking out my profile. I belong to Inverness, which is regarded as the capital of the Scottish Highlands, and with the exception of a period of College Studies in Edinburgh, I've lived around the North & West Highlands all of my life, including time in the Orkney Islands. I spent 30 years serving communities around the Scottish Highlands as a Police Officer, and through this, achieved advanced driving standards & an excellent knowledge of Highlands Roads. I commenced my Professional Driving Services in 2017, shortly after retirement from the Police Service, and work hard to provide a good standard of transportation, plus maintain a smart appearance to ensure my customers receive an excellent standard of service. My default Vehicle is a Recent Top End Luxury Van Style People Carrier which gives an elevated, excellent view as the tour progresses. I provide only private services to the person or group making the booking, and though I provide fixed tours on various themes & locations, these can be customized to suit particular needs. I take a relaxed, laid back & flexible approach to itineraries, and within any given route, I can effect requested changes even at short notice. I have particular experience with Scotch Whisky Tours covering all areas in Scotland, including Speyside & North Highland, plus am always happy to make any extra desired arrangements that may otherwise fall out of the scope of any suggested itineraries. I also have considerable experience (since 2017) in the provision of Shore Excursions for those visiting Cruise Ports at Invergordon & Ullapool, plus cross check every Shore Excursion booking with Port information where I'm able to monitor ship arrival & departure times to ensure a seamless, worry free day for those guests. I have several hobbies although predominantly I enjoy performing music, including Scottish Traditional Music. I'm very proud of the Scottish Highlands and am passionate about delivering a great experience to all those utilizing my service. Regardless of whom you decide to go around with, make sure you have a fabulous time in the fantastic Scottish Highlands! 7 years of experience in the tours and transportation industry. This includes considerable experience in the provision of Cruise Ship Shore Excursions (being a regular cruiser myself fully understand the special requirements of the logistics and flexibility required by such tours). Also, having served for 30 years as a Highlands Police Officer, I bring to this role: 1. Excellent driving skills. 2. Good people skills. 3. Excellent knowledge of Highlands Roads. I am not a licensed guide but I am permitted to guide you on Culloden Battlefield, Urquhart Castle, Cawdor Castle , Wardlaw Mausoleum , Inverness Old High Church, Dunrobin Castle and many other locations.

    We had a list of sites we wished to visit and Craig helped us out together an outstanding tour and even embellished it a little for us. One the outstanding highlights was that he photo shopped a photo of us at the Million Dollar View in traditional Scottish attire. The conversation was exquisite and very informative.

Twelve of us in 2 vans -we drove to Culloden Battlefield and we were given a short history of the battle and walked the field, Clava Burial Mounds, Cawdor Castle and whiskey tasting. Though the weather was not the best, Craig came prepared with umbrellas. Enjoyed our day and the Castle was full of interesting...

    Due to unforeseen circumstances, our original guide was unable to lead the tour, so Mr. Craig stepped in to take over. Drawing on his background as a former police officer, he demonstrated deep local knowledge and strong ties to the community, and provided excellent service despite being a last-minute replacement. Although I use a wheelchair and there are quite a few...
