Hi! I’m Steffen. Half Scottish, half German, and proud to call the Highlands home for most of my life. My roots lie with the historic Clan Munro, and while my background is in engineering, my passion has always been sharing the beauty and stories of Scotland with others. I offer private, relaxed, and informative tours of the Highlands — from the dramatic landscapes of the Isle of Skye to ancient castles, lochs, distilleries, and the hidden gems many visitors miss. I travel in a comfortable 8-seater Mercedes-Benz with full air conditioning and charging points, ensuring a smooth and scenic journey throughout. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning explorer, I tailor every tour to your interests — history, nature, whisky, Outlander filming locations (I even appeared as an extra on the show!), or just a day of unforgettable views and good company. I can even play you a tune on the bagpipes if the mood strikes! Pickups are flexible — from ports, hotels, rural hideaways, or airports — and I always aim to make the experience feel like travelling with a well-informed local friend. Scotland’s history is vast, sometimes wild, often funny, and always worth sharing — I look forward to showing you the best of it.

Scenic Struie Pass, legendary clan castles, Dornoch’s history and a dram at Glenmorangie or Balblair—all in one relaxed day from Inverness.
Overview of your Inverness tour
Leave Inverness behind and let a local guide whisk you north in a luxury 8-seat Mercedes-Benz. We start by climbing the Struie Pass to the celebrated “Million-Dollar View”, where the Dornoch Firth, rolling hills and distant mountains spread out beneath you. A coastal drive then delivers us to fairy-tale Dunrobin Castle—ancestral seat of the Dukes of Sutherland—for time to roam the Victorian gardens and watch the daily falconry display. After tracing the North Sea shoreline we pause in the royal burgh of Dornoch: stroll its 13th-century cathedral, browse craft shops or simply enjoy lunch in a cozy café. Our final stop is a guided tour and tasting at one of two world-class distilleries—Glenmorangie’s tall stills or Balblair’s atmospheric warehouses—before a relaxed return to Inverness. With flexible pick-ups, adjustable pacing and insights from a Clan Munro native (and former Outlander extra!), the day is yours to shape.
