Bespoke Orkney Tours

Bespoke Orkney Tours Orkney is stunning. The best possible way to explore all its treasures and heritage is in the company of a fully qualified guide.

My bespoke, private tours can be tailored to your interests, and will be filled with knowledge, insight and warmth. My name is Jane Cook (nee Clouston) and I am a qualified Green Badge Guide with the Scottish Tourist Guides Association. I work as a ‘step-on guide’, meaning that I will guide you in your own vehicle or hired vehicle, or lead you on a walking tour. Much of my working life has been sp

ent as a theologian and educationalist working with children, young adults, clergy and teachers. I thrive on imparting knowledge, sharing stories and encouraging insight. My ancestor, Hakon Klo, arrived in Orkney from Norway in 1141. He founded a community which still bears his name – Clouston in the parish of Stenness, and started a family which have spread across the world. I have the good fortune to live just three miles from where Hakon Klo settled in the Neolithic Heart of Orkney. I love my homeland and am passionate about sharing its history, beauty and heritage.
