The Isle of Raasey and Calum’s Road in the fading light, although short, is up there as one of the best scenic drives in the world.

Oh yes, this is very me.
A shepherds hut on the Isle of Skye.
Cracking open the cheap fizzy wine and expensive cheese.

I’ve been instructing an army of Polish teenagers on the incorrect way to invade Scotland. 😄

It's my new website!!!
I'm kinda excited.
One last piece of the puzzle to fill in. The much anticipated PUB CRAWL tour.
I shall have to do some meticulous research.

Summoning some magical spirits near Loch Tay can produce some interesting results at times.

Since retiring from a million years as a hard nosed Glasgow cop, my good friend Mike is now a tour guide.
He is absolutely made of the right stuff to be a first class guide and I’m looking forward to working with him as well as the usual drinking sessions as we go into the future.
Nice one Mike.

This post could be taken one of two ways. I don’t really care which. ‘We are awe Jock Tamsons bairns’ as we say in Scotland.
I am the official fairy guide on the Isle of Skye.
The council will now have to build a big car park near me, mainly for parking I would imagine.
Oh and when I say ‘official guide’, what I really mean is - not official in the slightest.

I’ve discovered that this is always best seen with plenty of wine and great friends.
Oh and cheese is good too.
Oh and a fire is also good.

I sorta photobombed a Glenelg ferry photo.
Not quite as handsome as Greig though.

Greig - ready for anything!

In February I had the pleasure of guiding the lovely Vanessa around Scotland in what was the last ever tour using my incredible 26yr old Toyota Landcruiser.
Unfortunately the old car was suffering from the dreaded chassis rust and I’ve had to upgrade.
Molly, Amanda and Katie get the honour of being the first of my lovely visitors that get to tour Scotland in utter luxury in my new Toyota Alphard.
Honestly…….it’s way too nice for the likes of me. I’ll jack up the height, put on some chunky tyres and hit a few deep potholes.

I’ve a couple of free hours in Edinburgh. So I wandered off the beaten path and into this little bar.
I’m the only customer.
I’m not as cool as the two guys in the picture but one can dream.

The season is underway.
Once again I have the pleasure of guiding a bus load of Polish teenagers through Scotland.
Working with the kids makes my heart happy.

MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody.
I’ve just been sent this great pic of some lovely previous visitors of mine. Betsy has given her family my book for a pressie this year.
I forget that my book is out there and that many folk can now read about my many sexual misadventures as a young man. Still not sure how I feel about that. 😄
Enjoy the book Betsy Clan. I’m looking forward to guiding your parents later in 2024.

It’s been a busy month for me. More folk are enjoying Scotland in the quieter and colder months and I totally get it.
Loads of lovely guests and some spectacular winter scenery including the aurora last night from Stirling.
I was also lucky enough to get a wee guided tour round the back of Farm Ness by Donald the farmer.

If I'm not having fun then I'm not doing it right.
Also a big thank you to the other companies that hire me.

I love my job.

Last week I had the honour of presenting the Clan MacNab magical history tour. I met MacNabs from around the world and shared stories of their clan and gave insights into the spiritual connections that their ancestors had with the land.
Oh and there was whisky.
Did I mention the whisky?
We had whisky.

I‘ve come to the end of an amazing 10 days with this lovely group of young Polish people. It happens sometimes, I get attached.
I’ll miss you all.
Safe travels in life.
Kocham Was!
