Born and raised in the Scottish Highlands. I am ex-corporate and love my Guiding Life. If you want to have a certified tourist guide, a fun day with true facts from a native of the Highlands, then look no further. You will be driven in my Luxury December 2025 Mercedes 300D Exclusive XL with leather seats, privacy glass & air-con with seats for up to 6 passengers, and lots of Luggage space. Educated to post-graduate level. 14 years as a Buying and Commercial Director in 6 different countries, having visited over 50 countries, I have developed an admiration for different cultures and ways of life. My wife and our 3 children decided it was time to return home to the Scottish Highlands and follow our hearts. We have made our home in Nairn, close to Inverness airport, Whisky Distilleries, Culloden, Castles, Standing Stones, Golf Courses, gorgeous beaches and the most amazing scenery. I am passionate about the Scottish Highlands, and would love to show you the best of the area, share some stories, explain the history, give you a flavour of life in the Highlands today and help to make your vacation a fun, interesting, memorable one. I am a qualified guide and a member of both the Scottish Tour Guides Association (STGA) and the Highlands of Scotland Tour Guide Association (HOSTGA). Full indemnity insured and public liability for carrying up to 6 passengers. 8 years of Guiding experience. Scotch Whisky Course Certificate.

Matthew was a fantastic guide who planned out a great day for us. He provided great communication before the tour, and he asked questions about what we wanted to see. I wanted everything "Outlander" and he definitely delivered. He also was incredibly knowledgeable about life and history of the Highlands. We learned a lot...but we wanted to, he was quick to say he could "teach" less if we didn't care about the info...but we liked that. Besides all of that, Matthew was just a great guy and we enjoyed spending the day with him. Thanks so much Matthew!

I cannot recommend Matthew highly enough. From his knowledge of all things Scottish, to his wonderful sense of humor, the two days we spend with him were a delight. Outlander fans will not be disappointed with his tours of Culloden and the Clava Cairns. His amusing spiel on the royal succession during the 1600s is not to be missed - even a teenager would find it interesting. The two distilleries we visited were first rate and Sueno’s stone was a nice surprise. Lunch was at a fine small town pub complete with dog. Highly recommended.
Elizabeth B.United States

This was an awesome tour! Matthew was so fun, easygoing, and open to tailoring our tour to our liking. He was also very knowledgeable about the area. I would highly recommend him.
Heather C.United States
We had a wonderful day exploring Scotland with Matthew. We asked for a day that covered history, a distillery tour, a castle, agricultural information, and Loch Ness. He took our requests and came up with a fun itinerary that covered it all! He was friendly, easy to talk to and his knowledge of Scotland was beyond impressive. It was a great day!
