Hello, my name is James and I am deeply passionate about Scotland and all things Scottish. I am very proud and privileged to be able to share my beautiful country with visitors from all over the world. I have been very lucky that I have had the opportunity to travel all across this beautiful country over the years, seeing some impressive sights and visiting some incredible places, including being in Balmoral Castle while the Queen was in residence (but that's a story for another time). There are so many wonderful, wild and mysterious places in Scotland and I would love to be able to share them with you. From the castles and architecture in out ancient cities to the vast expanse of wilderness in our hills and glens, there really is so much to see and explore. It would be my honor to show you the sights of this amazing wee country, and leave you with memories that will last a lifetime, with lots of fun and laughs along the way. Red Cross First Aid Certificate Whisky Ambassador I have been guiding since my early 20's all over the world but I love guiding in my home country of Scotland. Please note; I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of historical monuments. I can, however, accompany you inside and provide a brief overview.

Overview of your Glasgow tour

This 5-day road trip will take you through the beautiful highlands of Scotland and around the stunning Isle of Skye. We will start our trip by travelling through Loch Lomond & Tyndrum to Glencoe. From here we make our way to Fort William & Spean Bridge before stopping in the picturesque Fort Augustus for the night. Days 2 & 3 will take us through the Kyles of Lochalsh and over The Skye Bridge. Whilst there we visit Broadford, The Old Man Of Storr, Kilted Rock, The Quiraing, Flora MacDonald's Grave, the Fairy pools & Dunvegan castle with accommodation on both nights in Portree. On day 4 we leave Skye and make our way to the Highland Folk Museum which gives you an insight into what life was like for the 18th-century highlander (also an Outlander filming location) visiting Aviemore and spending the night in Pitlochry. On day 5 we visit the Highland chocolatier, The Hermitage and Dunfermline Abbey before our trip draws to a close at your requested drop-off point.
