Hi! My name is Gill (pronounced as' Jill') and I am Scottish to the core. . . I bring many years experience in leading private and small group tours all over Scotland and I am committed to delivering relaxed, fun, sustainable and professional tours. Together, we can visit all of Scotland's iconic routes and sites around the highlands and the lowlands, including -but certainly not limited to, Loch Lomond, The Trossachs, Stirling Castle, Outlander filming locations, whisky distilleries and, of course, the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. We will travel in the comfort of my VW Transporter (max 5 passengers) -which is perfect for taking in the wondrous views. As we travel I will share with you stories of our turbulent history, explain the effects of Scotland's amazing geology, and generally look at life in Scotland today. My experience: I spent ten wonderful years driver guiding small group bus tours (up to 16 guests) for Scotland's biggest, best and multi award winning small group tour company. I now combine that experience, their five star training and further professional training, which results in my relaxed and fun style of delivering professionally researched and informative tours. . . that are always, always memorable! Scotland really is a remarkably stunning and interesting wee country. . . I will bring alive our complex history and explain our geological wonders while you concentrate on capturing the beauty of the land and her people -in your heart and your camera! Your tour will be adapted to suit your interests. . . please come to me with your ideas/wishes. IMPORTANT: **Green Tourism** Every tour I run is offset by supporting the Trees For Life Initiative (TFL) equivalent to at least one tree planted per day. TFL are planting, protecting and restoring native woodland in Highland Scotland (specifically Glen Affric for my support). All tours are carried out with sustainability at the forefront: fuel efficiency; supporting environmentally friendly & sustainable local businesses; respecting land and natural heritage; raising awareness of environmental issues and promoting good practice on fragile lands. Qualified Scottish Blue Badge Guide -accredited in Europe and Worldwide Qualified Whisky Ambassador Ten years experience of leading bespoke small group tours all around Scotland. Professional driver -D1 Licence holder Driver guide with appropriate Public Liability and Hire & Reward insurances I guide only in English

Overview of your Glasgow tour

With ME as driver, YOU can sample until your heart's content! A trained Whisky Ambassador, I have thoughtfully selected three distinct and delightful distilleries within comfortable proximity of Glasgow. The journey will also take us through legendary landscapes where many clan feuds took place -often due to illegal production and sale of the infamous illicit liquor back in ! Collected from your chosen point, we will travel through the beautiful southern highlands to Deanston Distillery near Stirling, take in a full tour of the 19th century Glengoyne Distillery near Loch Lomond and finish with a visit to Glasgow's fine new Clydeside Distillery. Two Highland whiskies and one Lowland with their own unique flavours and unique back stories.
