I'm Bill , your driver / guide. I can't wait to take you for a fantastic day out here in The Highlands of Scotland. It really is a beautiful part of the world; I love it! Born and brought up in Edinburgh I spent most of my childhood holidays in The Highlands; winter holidays in The Cairngorms and summer holidays near Gairloch, over on the beautiful northwest coast. My early working life involved teaching skiing in the mountains here and in the Alps, and crewing for a yacht charter company on the west coast, occasionally serving beer and whisky to the thirsty locals of Badachro. There are stories!! �� I moved to Inverness after meeting my wife Catriona, a local lass, in the mid 90s. Many a happy day have been spent since then walking the hills, discovering beautiful lochs and glens and driving through the glorious landscapes we have here on our doorstep. Let me show you! We'll have a lot of fun too. We'll spend a day (or more) driving around in great comfort in either the V-class Mercedes for small groups of up to six travelers, or, for two or three folk, if you fancy getting the wind in your hair and feel the mountains peering down on you, how about going out in our E-class Mercedes convertible? Don't worry, we'll check the weather forecast (it has been known to rain here occasionally). If it's going to be wet, we'll keep warm and dry in the bigger Merc instead! Both vehicles are available for transfer tours. You're welcome to use me for your airport and/or hotel transfers. How about we meet down in Edinburgh or Glasgow and I drive you north for a day or two (or more), touring throughout Scotland. We can create a tour to meet your requirements; golf, whisky, hills & lochs…. Or we can just meander, take the back roads and just see where we end up. Where to? Anywhere! Let's Go! I look forward to meeting you here in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland. BA (hons) Leisure Management. Fully insured, including public liability.

Overview of your Inverness tour

We'll head north from Inverness, over the Kessock and Cromarty bridges then take the high road to Millionaire's View. Beautiful vistas north, east and west over the Dornoch Firth and beyond. Descending back to sea level we'll enjoy the Discovery Tour at BALBLAIR DISTILLERY, nestled on the southern shore of the Dornoch Firth, one of Scotland's best kept whisky secrets. By way of contrast, we'll head just a few miles east along the firth to GLENMORANGIE DISTILLERY. We can take their Classic tour, or simply enjoy a dram or two in their tasting rooms. A late lunch at the wonderful Platform 1864 restaurant / coffee shop in Tain then south west along the A9 to Tore. Heading west above the northern shore of the Beauly Firth to Muir of Ord, home of the GLEN ORD DISTILLERY and THE SINGLETON MALT. Here we can enjoy their Classic tour or simply sample some of their fine malts in the distillery's comfortable and contemporary tasting rooms. 1 or 2 distillery tours plus 1 or 2 tastings.
