As you can see by the photograph of myself these mountains are my front garden in the beautiful village of Lochcarron Wester Ross in the Scottish Highlands close to the famous Applecross peninsular. I became a tour guide about twelve years ago because of my love of the highlands, its history and its beautiful scenery. I have been organising tours for clients arriving at Invergordon Ullapool and Portree by cruise liner also staying at the many quality hotels such as the Torridon Hotel nestling in the majestic Torridon mountains Bespoke tours have been arranged to places as varied as Loch Ness, Cawdor Castle, Isle of Skye, Applecross, Dunrobin Castle. and Speyside Whisky Tours My informal friendly style has given me 5 star ratings with all my clients as I always try to make sure that they have a memorable day. The vehicle that I use is a Ford Transit minibus with air conditioning and comfortable seating for eight passengers I also use a microphone linked to the sound system if required. I have installed a covid screen in the vehicle and the minibus is sanitised before before every tour for your safety. I am fully licensed by the local Highland Council and also fully insured. I do not accompany you inside castles distillery etc but will give you an insight as to what to look out for and give directions to entry points
