It's not every day you receive an unusual bottle of malt whisky as a tip!!! 😃😃 Very nice too!

My clients requested a tour to visit all the distilleries in Scotland with special tastings organised by the Global Brand Ambassador, Stewart Buchanan. We spent a few days criss-crossing the lovely lush green valleys of the North-East Scotland.

This is definitely my favourite whisky distillery in Scotland!
Although I'm not a whisky drinker or whisky connoisseur, Ballindalloch Distillery stood out for me. It's a small traditional operation, a single estate distillery, ie, farm to bottle whisky, everything is produced and done on site. Definitely a low carbon footprint. The guide, Andrew gave us a 5 star tour and we even met the owner, Guy Macpherson-Grant! My clients loved the whole experience 👏 One to visit if you are in Speyside.✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Goodbye January! 👋
Yesterday was known as Imbolc, this is an ancient Celtic festival of fertility that heralds the halfway point between winter and spring.
The days are longer (just!) and the 1st snowdrops are out.🙂🙂

Preparing an Autumnal city walking tour for Group of 20 Norwegians 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🍂🍂🍂🍂

These are the beautiful sunken gardens in the heart of the city, showing off many of the impressive granite buildings.

Aberdeen is going through a renaissance period at the moment; it definitely is a great city to walk around and learn its rich history 😀

Can't believe my little business "HIGHLAND JOURNEYS" (guided tours from Aberdeen into Cairngorms National Park) has just been awarded 🌟GOLD 🌟for Green Tourism. It's an amazing accolade; it feels good to be doing my bit for the environment.

It was alot of work, but definitely worth it!! I can now pass on all my "green knowledge" on my tours and discuss lots of green issues with my visitors. SO exciting 🙌

Here's to a green future for HJ 🌳😃 and lots of happy travelling in this beautiful part of the World 🌎

Go Green!
Latest update on my 'Green Journey'
🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
It's a New Year and my guided tour business in Aberdeenshire is off to a flying start!

My application for the Green Tourism Award Scheme is up and running! Very exciting! I have always had a passion for the Scottish land, landscapes, nature & wildlife so joining this green movement made perfect sense to me.

I hope to complete my application soon, submit it and hopefully earn a Bronze Level for commitment to sustainability & environmental best practice.
