Hi, I'm Alan, born and bred in Scotland and a local expert for tailor made tours in and around my beautiful country. After many years working in the financial sector in Edinburgh's city centre, I decided to follow my deep-rooted passion for Scotland and all it has to offer, to become a tour guide. I focus on creating individually tailored escapades based on my travellers' personal tastes, using the expertise I gained from over 10 years of touring experience. From rugged mountains and mysterious lochs to the castles and palaces that make up Scotland's rich history, my knowledge and experience of all the hidden gems guarantee that you get the most out of your visit. Whether it's finding the best spot for an Instagram worthy picture, sampling a dram or two at one of our world-renowned distilleries, visiting some of the cult TV series 'Outlander' filming locations, feeding a Highland cow, fine dining or sampling our traditional haggis at a local pub, I'll make sure you experience Scotland at its best. One of the highlights of the work I do is meeting new people from all over the world. My relaxed and friendly approach allows me to not only share my stories but also customize your trip to ensure it meets all your needs. My tours will be carried out in a Mercedes V class so if you want an exclusive and extraordinary adventure in Scotland while travelling in luxury and comfort, I'd love to welcome you on board. Tour guide since 2017 and a whole lifetime of exploring my country and learning about its rich history. Full Driver's licence. My Vehicle can accommodate up to 7 passengers I will not be able to guide you inside any historical sites and monuments. These locations will have their own licensed staff/guides.

Overview of your Edinburgh tour

Leaving the hustle and bustle of the city we will arrive in Stirling where we'll visit it's famous castle for pictures before making our way through the historical old town (If you'd like to arrange a proper visit either to this castle or to Inveraray Castle then I can tailor the tour accordingly!). Other picturesque old towns we'll visit are Callander, where we will stop to see the Highland cows, Inverary, which looks out on the shores of Loch Fyne and Luss, which sits on the banks of Loch Lomond. In all these places we will take in the loch side scenery plus the quaint shops and streets around! As well as Stirling Castle, we will also stop by the infamous Kilchurn Castle which sits on an inlet in Loch Awe and Inverary Castle with it's magnificent gardens. Our journey will also allow us to visit St Conan's Kirk and the Falls of Dochart There will be a lot of driving on this tour as we aim to see as much of Scotland as possible but also plenty stops for photos and to grab a coffee
