Hi, my name is Carole and I have been involved with tours and excursions for 5 years now. I have lived in Scotland all my life and Inverness for the last 25 years. I probably have one of the best jobs in the world meeting all you wonderful people from all around the globe. My passions are the Highlands of Scotland and Isle of Skye, and whether it's battlefields or castles, stunning landscapes, whisky, lochs or Nessie hunting, you can tour and cover them all. I aim to take your wish list of locations and help you turn them into a meaningful, memorable and magical experience. From the Speyside and Highland whisky trails, with many beautiful distilleries for your consideration and enjoyment and a taste experience that can't be rivaled, or perhaps a walking adventure in our magical countryside and wildlife of our glens, rest assured I know how to excite your imagination and expectations on a guided personal tour of our stunning country and its history. My experience and knowledge of history, myths and locations can help provide you with some great ideas for your tours. You will be transported in comfort and style in my immaculately presented Mercedes GLC 4x4 which gives a panoramic unclouded view of our stunning scenery. We could arrange pick up from your chosen location whether it's a hotel, house, port, train station or ferry, which will ensure that before, during and after the tour, your day will be undisturbed, memorable and talked about for years to come. Tours can be full or half days and start/finish times can be flexible to suit your needs on the day. I can do repositioning tours, maybe you fancy starting in Inverness and ending in Edinburgh or vice versa with scenic stops along the way. I can also offer multi day tours anywhere around Scotland. Just message me and we can sort out the best places to visit. If you are happy with three in the back I am happy to take four people 20 years experience as a professional driver. 5 years experience as a tour guide. None.

Overview of your Inverness tour

Hello there! A very warm Highland welcome awaits you on this Culloden battlefield, Clava Cairns and Loch Ness tour. Let's take your party on an executive trip to the Culloden battlefield of 1746. At this battlefield, I will share all the events building up to it, as well as those during and also those post battle. After this batlle, this is where Highland life changed forever. We'll travel to Clava cairns too, to discover its 4000 year-old magical but mysterious location and standing stones, as well as to the world famous Loch Ness to see It's outstanding beauty with breathtaking views that intrigues both young and old. We'll also visit the ruins of castle Urquhart, which stand on the Loch's shoreline. Perhaps as we view the loch we might gaze out looking for the legendary Nessie!

Carole is a fantastic tour guide. She fit our needs perfectly as she is very willing to work with you to customize the day. She took us to Culloden, Cawdor Castle, and Fort George. She took the time to do a little driving tour of Inverness to show us where things were on our list of to do things, was a great driver and very friendly. She even did a quick stop to see some Scottish coos! I enjoyed talking to her and hearing about her travels and her life in Scotland. My husband and I had a great day. Carole is scheduled to do two more tours for me and I am sure those will be great as well!

Carol was a great guide and expert driver with a comfy car! We had in mind to see a castle, a distillery, Clava, and Cullonen. She customized our tour as requested and gave excellent suggestions. We requested a sheepdog demo just before the tour, and Carol knew the shepherd we wanted to see and got us the booking. Also, we added a tour participant at the last minute and she was gracious about that. We had a wonderful day with her as we enjoyed her company and benefitted from her local knowledge.

Carole was at the dock to pick us up & away we went for our day’s adventure in Inverness. We were able to see Balnuaran of Clava, Culloden Battlefield, Loch Ness ( no Nessie sighting 😳) , Cawdor Castle & a distillery. Carole is very knowledgeable. We enjoyed our day w/ her.
