Hello there! My name is Callum and my aim is to provide you with a truly memorable time exploring the wonderful Highlands of Scotland. I was born in Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, where I have lived and worked all my life. With a Macleod mother who was born on the island of Raasay between Skye and the Scottish mainland, and a Mackintosh father who was also born in Inverness, I have been steeped in the culture and history of the Highlands since birth. Having retired from a 36 year career as a high school teacher, becoming a tour guide in order to share my life-long love of the Highlands with visitors to the area was a very natural step. Specialising in tours of the Isle of Skye, the Isle of Raasay and the Loch Ness, Inverness and Culloden area, I hope to show you the very best of what the Highlands has to offer and provide you with an enjoyable and unforgettable experience. As well as the spectacular sights and breath-taking scenery, during our time together I will share my knowledge of Highland history and the myths and legends which have shaped the people and culture of this wonderful place. Each tour is planned to make the most of your time, with the day’s itinerary designed to your personal wishes and interests - a truly bespoke experience. We will travel in a comfortable and spacious SUV allowing you to sit back, relax and enjoy your day, taking time to savour the unique splendour of the Highlands as well as being able to access some of the less-visited treasures of the area. Whether you wish to see stunning mountains, visit historical castles, walk amongst beautiful landscapes, hear about local history and folklore or sample a ‘wee dram’ of whisky, your tour can be tailored to meet your personal tastes. Tour days can be combined for a longer, more immersive experience of what the region has to offer. With the flexibility of a personal driver, I can collect you from your holiday accommodation, cruise ship port, train station, bus or ferry terminal either returning to your day’s starting point or taking you to your ongoing destination. Get in touch to begin planning your bespoke Highland adventure!

With its picturesque castle and cathedral Inverness, the capital of the Highlands, sits on the banks of the beautiful River Ness. Beyond the city lies Culloden Battlefield, the location in 1746 of the last pitched battle fought on British soil. A few miles further on stands historical Cawdor Castle with its beautiful gardens. Travelling further back in time Clava Cairns is a fascinating 4000 year old site with prehistoric standing stones and burial chambers. For a touch of legend, we will also visit Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle with its stunning views and connections to the mythical Loch Ness Monster! Depending on the time available, this tour can be customised to your wishes with other options such as: ~ Inverness City centre with Inverness Castle and Cathedral ~ Cawdor Castle and Gardens ~ Whisky tasting at a local distillery ~ Sheepdog demonstration
