I was born and brought up in the little village of Elgol on the Isle of Skye and love to share my passion for and knowledge of my native island with others. Having studied Gaelic and Communications at Scotland's 'National Centre for Gaelic Language and Culture', Sabhal Mor Ostaig, I went on to work with my parents as a tour guide and skipper on their world-renowned boat trips based on Skye. During that time I made various appearances on television and radio to talk about the area, as well as hosting my own weekly show on the local Skye-based radio station, Radio Skye. In 2013 I suffered a serious knee injury which put an end to my sea-going tourism career (as well as giving me a welcome excuse to never take up marathon running!). This led me to question, "what next?" and in 2016 I was delighted to be able to return to tourism offering luxury tours of the Isle of Skye. All my tours offer a taste of luxury as I chauffeur you around the Scottish Highlands in my Land Rover Discovery, which can accommodate groups of up to 7 people. I look forward to welcoming you to the most beautiful part of the world! I have spent more than 10 years working as a tour guide based on the Isle of Skye. I have several reviews on TripAdvisor which can be viewed at https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Attraction_Review-g551872-d10522382-Reviews-Skye_Local_Tours-Broadford_Isle_of_Skye_The_Hebrides_Scotland.html Due to an old knee injury I am unable to accompany guests on more difficult walks they may wish to do during the tour (For example Fairy Pools or climb to the Old Man of Storr).

I understand that many people only have a short time available to see the Isle of Skye. Therefore many will want to see as many of the island's highlights as possible and to experience as much of Highland life and culture as possible in the little time they have available. Don't worry - I have the perfect solution for you! Combining my local knowledge with my long background in Skye tourism I have managed to pack an incredible Skye tour into a a single morning or afternoon tour lasting 3 hours. I love giving visitors my unique perspective as a local, born and raised on Skye. I will entertaining you with stories of the unique Highland upbringing and lifestyle as passing on some of the wonderful local stories and legends. An ideal option for those who only have a short time to see Skye.
The Old Man of Storr, Lealt Falls & Kilt Rock Viewpoints: - I stop for some incredible photo opportunities at these iconic viewpoints. Quiraing - The Quiraing is, for many people, the most captivating and stunning viewpoint on the island. Duntulm Castle - This wonderful castle ruin sits on the northern coast of Skye and has some great stories. Skye Museum of Island Life - These black houses (thatched cottages) give a wonderful experience of what Highland like was like 100 years ago (please note: The museum is closed from October to the end of March and also closed every Sunday). Fairy Glen - As you visit the Fairy Glen you will begin to realize why fairy stories abound on Skye. For customizing this tour, please inquire for a quote.
