I have worked in the Scottish tourist industry since leaving the regular army in 2005, I have a first class degree in Scottish History, and a Higher National Diploma in tourism & Leisure. Scotland is a diverse mixture of peoples with breathtaking landscapes and a history that changed the world!! I love nothing more than showing small groups around the many fascinating wonders of our country, "We Scots are a people who are bound to our ancestors. Though we cannot look into their eyes or hear their voices, we can walk in their footsteps and be where they once stood". Join my tours to discover the highlights of Scotland and learn about our colourful past.
