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.

Your Inverness tour itinerary

Upon booking, we'll ask for your favourite distilleries and preferences, including whether you'd like a tour of production or a visit to the cooperage. Generally, guests enjoy 1-3 distilleries in the morning, depending on selected experiences. Begin your day with an introduction to your whisky journey, perfect for beginners and seasoned enthusiasts alike. Next is the breakfast whisky tasting, where you’ll savour a selection of whiskies paired with fine chocolates, guided by your knowledgeable host highlighting the unique distinctions of each whisky. Lunch: Indulge in a delicious lunch at a local eatery, featuring hearty Scottish fare crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients to prepare you for the afternoon. Continue your adventure with visits to 2-4 distilleries tailored to your choices. We recommend one production tour, complemented by tastings at the others. Enjoy additional chocolate-paired whisky tastings from our extensive private collection throughout the day.
