Hello! Welcome to the Scottish Highlands! Before I became a Tour Guide in 2016, I worked at Culloden Battlefield, where I led demonstrations of Highland weaponry and use of traditional clothing. My passion runs deep for all things Highland, particularly the Clans, Tartans, Kilts and Single Malt Whisky. As a Local, I enjoy sharing our culture and traditions as well as showing people our magnificent scenery and heritage. You will be accompanied by myself - an actual Highlander in a Kilt, who is well familiar with Highland roads, points of interests and some hidden gems. There will be endless stories of legendary folklore that I like to match with Highland hospitality. I am based at the Capital of the Highlands - Inverness. It is the home of our dear Nessie (the Loch Ness 'monster'). Here you will find actual places from the famous Outlander TV Show, inspired by the ones found at Clava Cairns and historical accounts of battles fought at Culloden. To this day, Inverness still has its delightful medieval flavour. Please be informed that I can accommodate a minimum of 2 or 3 passengers and maximum of 6. Solo travellers will need to book for 2. Thank you for your understanding. - 2020-Present: Tour Guide/Business Owner - 2016-2019: Self-Employed Tour Guide - 2012-2016: Retail Assistant and Battlefield Historical Volunteer at Culloden Battlefield (National Trust of Scotland)

Overview of your Inverness tour

Travel through the heart of Speyside, host to world-renowned whiskies from a variety of distilleries amidst beautiful scenery. This is a tour for both the novice and the connoisseur. Each distillery has their own quirky attributes. One has a Victorian garden and secret stashes of whisky hidden in nature. Another - a farmland, sited high up on a Hill softened by the peat of River Spey. Their whisky boasts of smooth, sweet, mellow characters, "Effortless and elegant that flows like the conversation of excellent company". Distilleries need to be booked ahead of time. This tour includes 1 Distillery Tour. We will then be visiting as many distilleries that we can for tastings within the tour duration. Tastings will have to be at your discretion/additional expense or you can alternatively choose to simply wander around their impressive stunning grounds. This tour can be customized according to your preference and distillery availability but requires a minimum of 2 people per booking; maximum 6.
