From crocodile farming in Darwin, Australia to guiding private groups around the Speyside and Highland distilleries my journey to becoming a tour guide has been an interesting one. I started up Invergordon Tours in 2012 with nothing more than a sign and a borrowed BMW X5 which was kindly loaned to me by my parents. This humble beginning blossomed in to a dream career sharing Scotland’s distilleries and my whisky collection with guests from all over the world. I love whisky, I love meeting new people and sharing stories with them, I love driving and I love Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Come join me in my BMW X7 and see, taste and enjoy Scotland like never before.
