Had a group up in Oban and Glencoe today, what an amazing country we stay in.

Here’s a collection of the photos I’ve taken, Glencoe is just amazing, pictures do not do it justice.

Today we’ve got 4 lovely guests, 2 from Turkey and 2 from Canada.

We are on the Oban, Glencoe, lochs and castles tour today. We are just stopped at Inveraray castle, home to the chief of the Clan Campbell.

🏰 What a castle this is, built in the 1700s this castle took 43 years to complete construction.

We are heading to Oban for lunch, in a wee while, thank god, I’m starving 😂. I may try some of the fresh seafood that Oban has to offer. 🦀 🦞

What a spectacular display of nature last night in Scotland, the aurora borealis. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen them in person and I’ll tell you this they didn’t disappoint, although it’s weird seeing what looks like sun rays in the dark of night, it was strange but beautiful.

Enjoy the pictures everyone. These were taken in South Ayrshire.

Good luck to everyone doing the Glasgow Kilt walk today, absolutely fantastic that it raises funds for charity.

Today I took 10 individuals to the start line to do their Kilt walk and picking them up at Balloch at the end, I decided to take a wee drive to Luss on the Bonnie Bonnie bank of Loch Lomond.

Luss is a tiny village but what a place, it was thriving with people going into Loch Lomond, there were paddle boarders, wild swimmers with and without wet suits, boats, jet skis.

You can even hire boats and any other equipment you need to go out in the water, it’s fantastic.

I think you will all agree that the place is absolutely stunning when you look at my photos.

Everyone talks about Loch Ness but Loch Lomond is a special place too.

What a fantastic day we had with our guests from the US 🇺🇸 on our Oban, Glencoe, Lochs and Castles tour. They couldn't stop smiling as they delved into the fascinating history of each destination we visited. 🙂

From the iconic Rest and Be Thankful pass, a massive valley with waterfalls to the charming town of Inveraray where you can explore the castle, old jail, or even just pop into the whisky shops for a wee dram.

🏰 We paused for breathtaking photos of Kilchurn Castle, one of the most photographed castles in Scotland before stopping for lunch in the picturesque town of Oban. 🦐 Renowned for its fresh seafood, Oban offers a culinary experience like no other against the backdrop of stunning coastal views.

Next on our itinerary was Castle Stalker, perched majestically on its own tiny island—a photographer's dream! 📸 Myra favourite picture is the one with the steps going up the side of the castle into the castle.

Then, we travelled to Glencoe, where we reflected on the tragic events of the Glencoe massacre in 1692, a poignant reminder of Scotland's complex history.

Our adventure concluded with a stop at one of Scotland's oldest pubs, the haunted Drovers Inn, built in 1705.

Step back in time and soak in the atmosphere of this historic adventure, where every corner tells a tale.

These photos don’t do the places any justice but are amazing all the same 🙂

We had the pleasure of taking, Juan, Linda, Doug, Lisa and Abby from the US on our Loch Ness, GlenCoe and the Highlands tour on Saturday.

What an absolute pleasure it was, they were some of the nicest people I have ever met and they laughed and had smiles on their faces all day. I’m not saying I am the best because I’m far from it but I am good and will only get better until I am the best, or up there with the best.

What an absolute Craicin day we had, we saw Nessie, we saw some sunshine, we even saw some highland coos, my new friends said to me that their trip was complete when they saw them.

I took them right up to Urquhart castle and they loved it, what a place it is, it’s absolutely stunning up there and the Loch Ness just opens right up there, it’s also where Loch Ness is at its deepest so the best place to see Nessie.

Now look at these beautiful pictures.

Castles on the waters edge, craicin sunsets, hero’s birthplaces, all of this is in Ayrshire, South Ayrshire to be precise! A part of Scotland that is often overlooked for the highlands and Edinburgh.

Ayrshire is the birthplace of Robert the Bruce, to the right of my lighthouse picture is the very spot he was born, Turnberry castle which lies right on the seas edge.

Birthplace of William Wallace and Robert Burns yet it is often put off for the highlands.

You really are missing out if you don’t include it in your travel plans, so don’t 🙂. Come and see it and don’t miss a thing 😊. Look at Culzean Castle & Country Park NTS it’s stunning, the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum NTS. All in Ayrshire.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 BATTLE OF STIRLING BRIDGE 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

🔵 Part of our Scottish wars of independence tour ⚪️

On this day, 726 years ago, an epic battle unfolded at Stirling Bridge in 1297 that changed the course of Scottish history. William Wallace (Scotland’s national hero) and Andrew de Moray led a determined Scottish force against the English army under the command of King Edward I, the long shanks, meaning long legs but he was also known as the more sinister “Hammer of the Scots” due to being a tactical genius in medieval warfare and crushing the Scots on a few occasions.

🗡️ The Battle of Stirling Bridge showcased the strategic brilliance of Wallace and Moray. They chose the narrow bridge as their battlefield, essentially creating a bottle neck that only 2-3 men could pass shoulder to shoulder with even less cavalry getting across, negating their numerical advantage.

🛡️ As the English troops advanced, the Scots unleashed a devastating onslaught when just enough English had passed the point of no return, wielding spears, swords, and courage. The result was a resounding victory for the Scots, a testament to their determination and love for their homeland.

💪 This pivotal battle inspired the Scottish people to continue their fight for independence, eventually Robert the Bruce’s army in 1314 won the battle of Bannockburn leading to the historic Declaration of Arbroath in 1320.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Today, on the 726th anniversary of the Battle of Stirling Bridge, let's remember and celebrate the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for Scotland's freedom. Their legacy lives on in the spirit of a proud nation! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

These are some of the amazing sites you’ll see on our Loch Ness, Glen Coe and the Highlands tour,

This is a one day tour that leaves from the largest city in Scotland, Glasgow.

You will pass through the lowlands and find yourself coming into the highlands. One of the things you will notice is that the further up the country you go the more hills and mountains you will see.

You may even get a chance to catch a view of the tallest mountain in the whole of the UK and Scotland, Ben Nevis, which stands at a height of 4413ft (1345m).

We can accommodate private tours as well as pre planned tours that we set out ourselves. We try and get the that we know that you will love to see and the most famous places BUT we also take you to the places that are not so spoken about, the hidden gems of Scotland.

Our website is nearly up and running on this you will see all the tours, itineraries, maps, prices etc. we hope to have this live by April.

You can also email us at [email protected] for any enquiries you may have about any of our tours.
