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!

Heading north out of Portree we'll tour all the way round the famous Trotternish Peninsula passing The Old Man of Storr and enjoying some fabulously scenic short walks at Lealt Falls and Kilt Rock. We'll then head west under The Quiraing; you can enjoy a beautiful walk here enjoying superb views out over the sea towards Gairloch, Torridon and Isle Rhona. Back into the vehicle and we'll go exploring The Fairy Glen before a slightly longer road-trip through Skye's magnificent scenery to Glen Brittle. Lunch and a lovely walk alongside the Fairy Pools, then off to Talisker Distillery to sample some of their wonderful whisky (or just a soft drink if you prefer... good coffees here too). Back to Portree and your ship via Sligachan; will you invite the water faeries of the River Sligachan to convey eternal youth and beauty. There may be a story or two to be told here!
