Hi I’m John and I have lived in the Highlands and Islands for most of my life. I have also been involved in Scotland's tourism industry since 2006. Throughout my life, I have had the privilege of residing and working in different regions of Scotland, from the captivating Shetland Islands to the bustling cities of Edinburgh and Inverness. This background has endowed me with an extensive knowledge of Scotland's geography and an intimate understanding of the unique local cultures that enrich our diverse nation. I have developed a deep appreciation for Scotland's remarkable heritage, history, and natural wonders. Being a Tour Guide in Scotland is a great job. It's not really a job when you are visiting fantastic locations with great guests wishing to learn about our wonderful country. Scotland is a remarkable place, and I am committed to sharing its wonders with others, ensuring they have an unforgettable journey. I have been working as a private tour guide/driver since 2021. Having lived and worked across Scotland I can cover all areas of the country. I can offer not only the tours advertised but prepare a bespoke itinerary for you involving single day or multi day trips. I can collect you from your accommodation be it a Cruise Ship, Hotel or Guest House . I use a 8 seat, 7 passenger minivan which is excellent for Touring. I am an experienced driver and use my vehicle for the tours. I am fluent in English only. I am able to guide you inside historical monuments and locations.
