Another atmospheric day on tour in Scotland ! Glenfinnan Viaduct and Monument, Bonnie Prince Charlie’s landing & departure site on the mainland, Mallaig and its amazing bakery and the lovely Camusdarach beach.

The Kelpies, Stirling castle views and the atmospheric Glencoe en route from Edinburgh to Fort William

Come for a walk up Moncreiffe Hill, just outside the Fair City of Perth. A steady uphill with plenty of sculptures in the woods, some very old fort earth ramparts and some great views.

I had a great visit to The Burrell Collection in Glasgow today. There is so much to see and you could easily spend 3 or 4 hours here if you want to see and read everything.
A new special (paid) exhibition with all 27 items by Degas in the Burrell collection is well worth a visit.
More photos in today's stories.

It's bluebell season when the woods and verges come alive with colour. One of my favourite times of the year.

Don't come to Scotland, it always rains !
What a beautiful day for a day off and the first kayak on Loch Faskally for this year.

The cherry blossom is just "going over" in Pitlochry but it leaves a beautiful carpet of pink petals

A return to the Linn of Dee and River Luibeg this morning - but with guests this time. A lovely relaxed morning walk before heading over the hill to Pitlochry and Grandtully for a visit to The Highland Chocolatier.

My guests wanted a walk for today, so we headed to Tarbet near Scourie and took the boat to Handa Island which is managed by Scottish Wildlife Trust.
What a day !
Welcome to my office !

Good morning from the sunny North West Highlands of Scotland.
Another lovely day to be out exploring with guests.

Here is my Google maps list of Scottish seafood shacks. If you like seafood, you are going to love these places ! The list is dynamic, in that I am adding to it as I visit new places or get recommendations.
You can like / follow the list so that it saves into your Google maps.

18 places - Seafood shacks

Nothing beats fresh Scottish seafood - and if you are in Ullapool, you need to go to the fantastic . I had 3 lovely langoustines and the battered Haddock wrap with lemon mayonnaise.
I've also created a list of Scottish seafood shacks in Google maps - head across to my Scotland Tour Guide page to find out more. This is a dynamic list and will be added to as I find more or have more recommended to me.

Another beautiful day and the bonus of the Coastguard practicing with our ferry

A wee evening stroll around Lews Castle grounds in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis. It is so nice to see the longer light in the evenings

01/05/2024

you were right, we got a wee half day of rain yesterday after using up our sunshine vibes the previous few days ! Good news is that we got our sunshine vibes back with a vengeance today !

Today was all about the landscapes and a portrait orientated photo was never going to do it justice !

29/04/2024

A day on the Isle of Skye - and I forgot to take photos of Talisker Distillery and The Oyster Shed where we had lunch as well as a couple of damp photo stops later in the day

View to The Old Man of Storr, Isle of Skye

What a lovely afternoon for a walk with my guests. We took the path from Sligachan towards Marsco for about 40 minutes in each direction.

28/04/2024

Good morning from Corpach with a view to Ben Nevis, Britain's tallest mountain at 1345m / 4413 ft

27/04/2024

It was the Kelpies 10 today - 10 years since these amazing sculptures were finished. What a great first stop for guests who arrived from Canada this morning.

24/04/2024

Two different sets of waterfalls near Callander in the Trossachs region of Scotland today. I have been looking for suitable walks of about 1 hour that aren't too strenuous but are scenic for some upcoming guests. The first are Bracklinn Falls above the town of Callander and the second are the Falls of Leny just to the west of Callander.
Despite the recent rain, there is not enough water to show them at their best!

24/04/2024

So lovely to see all the new growth coming through as the sun comes out and it warms up.
The vibrant yellow and smell of coconut from the gorse is always welcome and I love the lime green as all the new leaves begin to open up. The country is being transformed once more.

23/04/2024

Saw this Honesty Kiosk (unmanned) on the way to Glenshee from Pitlochry and decided to stop on the way back. Wow ! What an amazing array of traybakes, local eggs, gifts and loads of other stuff as well.
My clients that arrive shortly have a (self confessed) sweet tooth so we'll definitely be stopping here at Ice Cream & Cake Box
Details to follow online are on the last photo.

It has been a very busy start to the season with my time split between Edinburgh and Inverness working with groups visiting from USA.
I am now preparing for a tour I put together for some returning Canadian guests that will take us to many beautiful places. I'll provide updates along the way.
My diary is now full for this season - thank you to all for your bookings. This really is the best job in the world !

I loved the light around Gott Bay this afternoon
