I am a Highlander born and bred who has been fortunate to have worked and lived in many stunning areas right across Scotland, although always returning to the Highlands itself. Such locations has enabled me to absorb both the natural beauty and the impressive history that Scotland has to offer. The knowledge and geographical awareness that I have been exposed to has now enabled me to share such wonderful locations and experiences that Scotland has to offer with the many visitors who travel to Scotland. Prior to becoming a tour guide/driver I was fortunate to have retired from a successful career as a Police Officer in the Scottish Police service, working right across Scotland. Serving the local communities for many years has allowed me to experience the vast diverse cultures that are present. Equally such experiences has enabled me to appreciate the large amount of iconic locations that we have right the way throughout Scotland. The tours that I offer ensure that all will be exposed to the wonders that each location has to offer, such landscapes and views are forever changing throughout the seasons. The bonus of being a Highlander familiar with the areas visited, is the bonus of finding that wonderful scenic view normally hidden away. The tours listed here provide an opportunity to experience first-hand what Scotland has to offer. I am 100% flexible in my approach to each day, each tour can be amended/adjusted to suit the unique interests of guests, ensuring that maximum enjoyment is achieved by all. Working in the tourist industry since 2021 I am an experienced guide looking to maximise your visit. I am unable to guide inside certain historic locations due to such locations having their own staff/guides. I am licenced by our local authority.

Overview of your Inverness tour

Enjoy a relaxing day out, travelling through beautiful countryside with many iconic views as you travel and move between the Northern distilleries. When you undertake a north whisky tour, you visit several distilleries, each has their own unique character and vary in the whisky production methods adopted. There is opportunity to learn about the process of whisky-making, be it the mash making or the fermentation and distillation. Walk the distillery floor passing the stills, see the whisky stored in the vast warehouses, where it ages within the oak casks. Experience the differences of taste as you indulge in the sampling of the whisky produced by the northern distilleries. Each has its own unique taste with that added twist to the flavour. Sit and absorb the experiences of the distillery staff as they share their knowledge of their distillery brand along with the twists in respect of the maturity of each malt.
