Having qualified as a Scottish Tourist Guide for the North Highlands in 2018, I am brimming full of enthusiasm for showing visitors the delights of the Highlands, where I have lived and travelled extensively since 1997. My previous role as a charity event fundraising manager introduced me to the iconic scenery of the Highlands and developed my people and communication skills. I am also a member of a local Tourist Guide Association, which keeps me connected with the latest talks and information available. Whether you have interests in Scottish Culture, ancient castles, the sometimes bloodied history, famous wildlife, awesome geology, stunning lochs and spectacular mountains or just want to chill in one of the most unique areas in the world, off the beaten track, I would be delighted to guide you, and help create what I hope will be one of your most enjoyable and entertaining holidays. In my comfortable, roomy and air conditioned Skoda Superb Plug In Hybrid, I can driver guide for up to 3/4 people. For groups of up to 8 people, I can hire an Arnold Clarke people carrier, for an additional fee. I can also provide walking tours in the beautiful city of Inverness, where I am fortunate to live, which could be part of a day's tour. I can meet you at your accommodation near Inverness or your cruise ship in Invergordon, Ullapool or Fort William. The Highlands have been home to some amazing people and I want to share their stories with you, sample the delights of what they eat and drink and give you a taste of life in the Highlands today. You can choose one of my advertised tours, which can be adapted, taking care with the timings, or I am happy to provide bespoke tours for any "must sees" or "must dos" that you have. Several of my tours are suitable or can be adapted for wheelchair users and I am happy to design bespoke tours to help visitors with other disabilities make the most of the Highlands. Your enjoyment is my aim and with my informal, friendly and sometimes humorous approach, I want to provide an unforgettable experience in this beautiful and fascinating area, which can take your breath away! I gained my Scottish Tourist Guide Association Green Badge for North Highlands from the University of the Highlands and Islands and I'm a member of the Highlands of Scotland Tour Guide Association (HOSTGA). I have full indemnity insurance as well as an Emergency First Aid Training certificate.

I love this wee tour as it encapsulates the essence of the Highlands in such a small area! Enjoy panoramic views as we cross stunning Kessock Bridge, before we stop at Culloden Battlefield, site of the last battle on British mainland, ending the Jacobite rebellion and leading to dramatic changes in the Highlands. Let's enjoy the peace of the atmospheric 4000-year-old spiritual Bronze Age Clava Cairn burial tombs. Down to Inverness, with glorious views across the Moray Firth, where a walk by the riverside will reveal stories of castle sieges, a Jacobite heroine, meandering statues, Nessie's first sighting, Jacobite executions and some stunning buildings dating back hundreds of years. Maybe stop in cosy cafes and sample some malt whisky! Returning to Invergordon, along the scenic Beauly Firth, through Beauly with its 13th Century priory, attractive market square and oldest elm tree in Europe. Let's enjoy views across the Cromarty Firth and learn about the role it played in Scottish and British history.
Peter did a GREAT job. He met us on-time right at the pick up location (a bit out of the way, but Peter sent great directions and connected just fine). Peter was friendly, fun, knowledgeable, proud to be a local. Great driver, clean, nice car. Made the big things big and the small details even bigger - the kind of stuff you can't get in a group setting. PETER WAS WORTH every penny! Thank you Peter!
Enjoyed our day with Peter. He shared his knowledge of the Culloden Battle and took us to other interesting sites.
Peter was knowledgeable and entertaining. He had great suggestions and accommodated what we wanted to do. Excellane
Peter was a fantastic guide for our trip. We were searching for someone who would take us to places that were relevant to our family heritage in the Inverness area. He was enthusiastic about what we were trying to achieve and did a brilliant job of putting everything together. He's also a lot of fun! We highly recommend him!
Great. Just wonderful. Peter was an outstanding guide, very informative and incredibly friendly. We loved the drive through the Scottish Highlands, the scenery was breathtaking. We were lucky with the weather also, very clear and sunny day. Thank you Peter for the beautiful day.
Peter was amazing! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and easy going. Our day out and about in the Highlands was everything we wished for, and remains a highlight of our trip. He was able to adapt the tour to our wants and needs, he happily answered all our inquiries, and his vehicle was immaculate. I highly recommend booking with Peter!
