Hello! Welcome to the Scottish Highlands! Before I became a Tour Guide in 2016, I worked at Culloden Battlefield, where I led demonstrations of Highland weaponry and use of traditional clothing. My passion runs deep for all things Highland, particularly the Clans, Tartans, Kilts and Single Malt Whisky. As a Local, I enjoy sharing our culture and traditions as well as showing people our magnificent scenery and heritage. You will be accompanied by myself - an actual Highlander in a Kilt, who is well familiar with Highland roads, points of interests and some hidden gems. There will be endless stories of legendary folklore that I like to match with Highland hospitality. I am based at the Capital of the Highlands - Inverness. It is the home of our dear Nessie (the Loch Ness 'monster'). Here you will find actual places from the famous Outlander TV Show, inspired by the ones found at Clava Cairns and historical accounts of battles fought at Culloden. To this day, Inverness still has its delightful medieval flavour. Please be informed that I can accommodate a minimum of 2 or 3 passengers and maximum of 6. Solo travellers will need to book for 2. Thank you for your understanding. - 2020-Present: Tour Guide/Business Owner - 2016-2019: Self-Employed Tour Guide - 2012-2016: Retail Assistant and Battlefield Historical Volunteer at Culloden Battlefield (National Trust of Scotland)

Overview of your Inverness tour

This is a must tour when you visit Inverness. The road trip alone is filled with jaw-dropping scenery that would make you want to stop at every point. My selection will ensure that you get to see the best of the best. The Isle of Skye is as magical as it can get. Look out for double rainbows, low mystical mists, waterfalls to name a few. On the way, we will stop at one of the most photographed castles in the world. Drive over a majestic bridge that throws off an amazing optical 'hump' illusion. Enjoy the unique Scottish landscape as your experienced Tour Guide safely takes you through winding roads and quaint villages. Sit back, relax and reserve your energy for your day while you get acquainted with interesting stories of Highland Culture, Tartans, Kilts, Folklore and more. This tour can be customized according to your preference but requires a minimum of 2 people per booking; maximum 6. I am looking forward to welcoming you!
