I'm Bill , your driver / guide. I can't wait to take you for a fantastic day out here in The Highlands of Scotland. It really is a beautiful part of the world; I love it! Born and brought up in Edinburgh I spent most of my childhood holidays in The Highlands; winter holidays in The Cairngorms and summer holidays near Gairloch, over on the beautiful northwest coast. My early working life involved teaching skiing in the mountains here and in the Alps, and crewing for a yacht charter company on the west coast, occasionally serving beer and whisky to the thirsty locals of Badachro. There are stories!! �� I moved to Inverness after meeting my wife Catriona, a local lass, in the mid 90s. Many a happy day have been spent since then walking the hills, discovering beautiful lochs and glens and driving through the glorious landscapes we have here on our doorstep. Let me show you! We'll have a lot of fun too. We'll spend a day (or more) driving around in great comfort in either the V-class Mercedes for small groups of up to six travelers, or, for two or three folk, if you fancy getting the wind in your hair and feel the mountains peering down on you, how about going out in our E-class Mercedes convertible? Don't worry, we'll check the weather forecast (it has been known to rain here occasionally). If it's going to be wet, we'll keep warm and dry in the bigger Merc instead! Both vehicles are available for transfer tours. You're welcome to use me for your airport and/or hotel transfers. How about we meet down in Edinburgh or Glasgow and I drive you north for a day or two (or more), touring throughout Scotland. We can create a tour to meet your requirements; golf, whisky, hills & lochs…. Or we can just meander, take the back roads and just see where we end up. Where to? Anywhere! Let's Go! I look forward to meeting you here in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland. BA (hons) Leisure Management. Fully insured, including public liability.

Our first day touring with Bill from Edinburgh to Inverness was outstanding. From the moment we met, Bill made a great impression—warm, professional, and easy to talk to. As we drove through beautiful landscapes, he brought Scottish history to life with fascinating stories and insights that were both informative and engaging. His ability to weave in local lore, clan perspectives, and broader historical context made the drive fly by. Stops were well-planned and never rushed, with time for photos and breaks. It was the perfect blend of comfort, education, and personal attention. We ended the day excited for day two—and already knew we’d made the right choice in guides.

Bill is an excellent guide. He is very knowledgeable and could talk to us about any period in history and teach us about local customs and culture too. From a practical point of view, he is on time and a safe driver. All of this made our time with him interesting, easy, and worry free. A great way to learn a lot in a short period of time!

We booked a tour with Bill for a day trip from Edinburgh up to Inverness. Bill was an incredible guide and made a few stops on the way to Inverness where we learned about Scottish history, culture, and the beautiful landscape surrounding us. I would highly recommend booking your trip with Bill, whether it’s a short day trip like we did or multiple days. He made the experience so meaningful!
