Hello, I’m Callum! With over 8 years of experience in Scottish tourism, I have a deep passion for sharing the best of Scotland with visitors from around the world. From breathtaking landscapes to historic landmarks, my goal is to provide an unforgettable journey filled with Scottish charm, storytelling, and local insight—with plenty of patter along the way! Travel with me, and you'll feel less like a tourist and more like a local. I take pride in introducing guests to Scotland’s hidden gems, from independent distilleries to family-run restaurants and traditional pubs, showcasing the best of our culture and hospitality. My journey into tour guiding began with my love of landscape photography. Exploring Scotland’s dramatic scenery through a camera lens made me realise I wanted to share these incredible places with others—so I made the leap into guiding, and I’ve never looked back. As a guide, I bring my own unique style and interests to each tour. With a passion for geography and geology, I love explaining how Scotland’s landscape was formed, while always expanding my knowledge of Scottish history. While based in Glasgow, a city rich in history, culture, and architectural beauty, my tours extend into the West of Scotland and the Highlands, where picturesque lochs, rolling hills, and rugged landscapes await. Whether exploring Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park or uncovering Scotland’s industrial heritage, I ensure every tour is a memorable and immersive experience. Qualifications & Memberships: Over 8 years of experience in Scottish tourism Fully insured Member of the Scottish Independent Tour Operators Association (SITOA) Valid UK Driving Licence Valid UK Coach Driving Licence Valid Certificate of Professional Competency (CPC) Please note: I am unable to guide inside historical monuments.
