Hi! I'm Derek. I became a tour guide as driving and exploring the beautiful scenery and historic sites and quaint little villages that are scattered all over Scotland excites me, and I want to pass on this joy to everyone who comes to visit Scotland. Previously as an H. G. V. Driver carrying dangerous goods (whisky included) meant that I have had to undertake intensive Advanced Driver Training which results in the knowledge that you will be in safe hands as we explore the sights on offer. My aim overall is to provide every traveler with the best experience possible on their visit to my homeland and to have them leaving as friends with memories to last a lifetime. All of my tours can be tailor to suit your needs and capabilities on request. Just contact me! My whole lifetime of living in and discovering the beauty of Scotland. I am not licensed to give tours inside any historical sites, I prefer to leave that to the professionals of each location we will visit.

Derek was an excellent tour guide for our group of eight during our visit to Glasgow. Unfortunately, our Edinburgh port was cancelled due to a storm. Derek was extremely accommodating at the last minute and we made a full day visiting several locations, including Edinburgh. Thank you, Derek!

We had a terrific day touring Glasgow. Lots of things to see. Our tour guide did a very nice job of ferrying us around the city and beyond to see the sights. He had an in depth knowledge of the local churches, and castles and other items of interest. He held our interest all day.
