Having moved to the Highlands of Scotland in 2008 I have become passionate about this wonderful part of the UK. I love to help people explore the wonders of the Highlands and passionate about the wildlife found within this beautiful part of Scotland. As a keen photographer I can help you take superb landscapes and city scenes. Walking tours are a special way of seeing some of the most spectacular scenery in Europe. I enjoy birdwatching and can help you find some of the species found in the area from the ever present species to our seasonal visitors that visit. With so many special Outlander locations in the Highlands it is always a pleasure to help the fans of this television series explore those special sites captured by the series. All my tours can be customized upon request Qualified and fully insured through the Highlands of Scotland Tour Guides Association I am committed to keeping up my professional qualifications through dedicated Continued Professional Development (CPD) I prefer not to drive and guide my own vehicle. I can accompany and or drive you in your own vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

We had a pleasant walk with Adrian around the town of Inverness. The Old High Kirk cemetery where Jacobites were executed after the '45 was very interesting. We also saw other sites like Abertarff House and the Victorian Market. Adrian was very pleasant and had loads of information on the history of Inverness.

Adrian was a wonderfully knowledgeable and friendly guide on our walking tour of Inverness. We only had one full day in the city, and this tour helped us take in its culture and history in a way that would have been impossible on our own. Special kudos to Adrian for scouting our route ahead of time to make sure snow and ice would not present unexpected problems. That meant a lot to us. Would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a thorough overview of the city.
