Hi! I'm Derek. I became a tour guide as driving and exploring the beautiful scenery and historic sites and quaint little villages that are scattered all over Scotland excites me, and I want to pass on this joy to everyone who comes to visit Scotland. Previously as an H. G. V. Driver carrying dangerous goods (whisky included) meant that I have had to undertake intensive Advanced Driver Training which results in the knowledge that you will be in safe hands as we explore the sights on offer. My aim overall is to provide every traveler with the best experience possible on their visit to my homeland and to have them leaving as friends with memories to last a lifetime. All of my tours can be tailor to suit your needs and capabilities on request. Just contact me! My whole lifetime of living in and discovering the beauty of Scotland. I am not licensed to give tours inside any historical sites, I prefer to leave that to the professionals of each location we will visit.

Embark on an extraordinary day-trip driving to the Scottish Highlands where we will transport back in time by visiting ancient castles such as Blackness, Doune, and Finlarig. During the tour, we will marvel at the mystical shape-shifting creatures called "The Kelpies", and also make a stop to feed Scotland's famous Highland Coo's. There will be plenty of opportunities to taste local delicacies, and enjoy the breathtaking landscapes, waterfalls, and lochs along the way. If hiking is your thing, then bring comfortable shoes as there are some fantastic stops along the way. You have the freedom to explore at your own pace and make impromptu stops at any breathtaking viewpoint or charming village that catches your eye. This level of flexibility is especially valuable in the Highlands, where there are countless hidden gems to discover off the beaten path. Join me to make this tour the highlight of your trip.
