Based in the Highlands of Scotland, we are a small, friendly independent tour company specialising in archaeology excursions and ancient historical tours of the Black Isle and beyond. We want you to experience the very best that Scotland has to offer and aim to design tours to match the needs and preferences of guests, creating new adventures every time. From prehistoric communities, to Iron Age H

ill-Forts, from Pictish warriors to Viking raiders, we take you off the beaten track to explore places other tourists just don't see! Our guides are experts in their field with a real passion for their work. We provide guided tours to places of historical interest, small group tours or tailor-made individual packages ranging from £10.00 per person. We also aim to be as eco-friendly as possible and thus provide a number of tours that are easily accessible via public transport, as well as our unique guided cycling tours. Unlike many other tour companies on our full-day escorted tours we provide both a driver and a guide, not just a driver with a microphone headset, so our guests receive the very best service. You can also hire one of experts for a day, or maybe even for just half a day. So please take a look at the wide variety of tours we have to offer and if you have something special in mind, have a query or would like to make a booking, please do not hesitate to contact us. Office Opening Hours: Mon - Sun 9am - 8pm All Year

The first in a series of FREE online events for the Symbols of Mortality Exhibition, Orkney Museum, February 2025. It is a re-scheduled date, I will contact those who have already booked, but the so-called 'ticket office' will re-open shortly. Otherwise, feel free to drop me a message to book yourself a place on what will be a fascinating discussion.

I hope you are all having/had a joyous festive season. Currently the team is on top of a hill in Stromness, Orkney, the four walls being battered by one of the worst storms of this winter so far. Ironically, I am reading about the infamous Franklin Expedition, where both HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were forced themselves to take shelter in Stromness harbour, in May 1845, after a particularly bad storm. One Lieutenant Fairholme commented:

"I never saw anything more lovely than the scene last night, as we ran through the narrow passages among these little islands. In themselves there is nothing of the beautiful, as they are perfectly bare, but there was such a sky, and such a summit or such a glass-like sea that it was quite worthy of the Gulf of Smyrna."

Not today it isn't.......
