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.

Overview of your Glasgow tour

Spend some time in nature with a full day in the beautiful Loch Lomond & the Trossachs National Park! Focussing on short drives to special spots… less than one hour drive from Glasgow or Greenock (port) lies the magnificence of our highland lochs, glens & mountains and this tour gives you plenty time* in the fresh air soaking up the 'real Scotland'. We will drive the length of Loch Lomond's famous 'Bonnie Banks' -stopping for a walk, snacks and of course, some magical photographs. Refreshments and lunch will be in hostelries established over 300 years ago! We can visit the grave of the (in)famous Rob Roy on the shores of Loch Voil and we will (hopefully) catch a glimpse of our wondrous Highland cattle on the 'Duke's Pass' route! This lovely relaxed day takes you through glens, past mountains and along the shores of seven lochs as I tell you the tales of clan feuds, illicit whisky, cattle rustling and a little bit of faery talk. * Time spent outdoors can be dependent on weather. . . wear good shoes!
