Let's be honest: Scotland has a reputation for being a very wet country. And this summer, Scotland has lived up to that reputation. So, as a tour guide, what keeps me shining bright, even on cloudy days? It's knowing that even in the rain, Scotland is a stunning country with amazing people who love to welcome visitors from around the world. It's knowing that in an instant, everything can change: the rain will stop, the clouds will part, and suddenly, you will see a different Scotland. ✨

What activities make you feel free and alive? I was island hopping on a tour around Iona, Lunga and Staffa this week. And found time to sit and watch the sea as it lapped against a sandy beach or crashed against ancient rocks. In those moments, I felt free of every day worries. It is amazing how a short time alone in the Scottish countryside can change your perspective. Share those liberating experiences with me! 🌟

Where are you tuning in from today? For once, I am not in Portree on the Isle of Skye, where I've spent a lot of time guiding this summer. Instead, I am almost at the southern tip of Scotland in the Isle of Whithorn. You must wait for some photos and videos as I start my summer holiday.

Guiding non-stop for two months straight can be exhausting, but then something magical happens. Like the other day, my tour coach stumbled upon a herd of Highland Cows by the roadside. In that moment, I knew I was exactly where I was meant to be. These little surprises make me realize how much I love my job. What moments make you feel alive? Share your incredible experiences with me!

Having just finished a four day group tour around the gardens of Argyll, I'm off on another guiding adventure. Find out where I am going in the video 👇👇👇

A rare weekend off in the midst of a busy guiding season sees me heading to the 2024 RoyalHighlandShow. Why have I never been before? It is fantastic and a great celebration of everything rural.

This evening I headed to Alltshellach at the other end of Loch Leven from my village. It is the local base for HF Holidays with guests staying here to enjoy one of their walking holidays.

I'm frequently an after dinner speaker for their groups. This evening I regaled guests with 'Stories and Legends from the Road to Isles'. It is a light-hearted look at this famous route from Fort William to Mallaig. And includes some of my favourite stories.

If you would like to book me as a guest speaker for events in the Lochaber area (possibly further afield) or even online do get in touch

My home village of Kinlochleven is experiencing a flurry of activity this week. Not only do we have the usual steady flow of foot-weary West Highland Way walkers but we have a TV production company based in the centre of the village.

Netflix has arrived with their cast, including renowned actor Jamie Dornan, to film scenes for their new Undertow series. 🎥⭐

The production company has recruited local people as extras, including as uniformed police officers. We've seen a van lowered by crane into the edge of the loch, presumably for post-crash scenes. You can even spot the tyre marks added to the road by the crash scene!

And today, there are lots of mock police cars and an ambulance set up by the lochside. Assuming the series will air in 2025, you'll soon be able to spot my village on the TV screen, along with several other locations around the Scottish Highlands. 📺

A brilliant end to a tour with a lovely couple from Colchester on their honeymoon following their wedding at Glenfinnan yesterday. Having spent the day exploring Lochalsh with a brief hop through southern Skye we couldn't resist a wee stop to indulge our shared Harry Potter fandom. We are on Loch Eilt looking at a famous island. If you know, you know. No spoilers please. 🧙‍♂️🪄Looking forward to sharing another day with them exploring tomorrow.

Another unexpected stop for my guests today. Thanks to the Friends of Fyvie Church for opening up to allow us to see the Tiffany stained glass window. A rare example here in Scotland.

04/06/2024

An ad-hoc stop en route between Castle Fraser and Drum Castle today. I stopped with my guests to have a look at the Cullerlie Stone Circle just a few steps away from a back country lane.

This enigmatic site dates back 4,000 years ago nd consists of eight standing stones surrounding a site with eight ring cairns. Archaelogical excavation in 1934 revealed that this was also a site of human cremation.

It was an interesting, unexpected stop, for my guests and prompted lots of questions and discussion. Although I was somewhat alarmed at our driver's suggestion that we should sacrifice a guest whilst we were there 😀
