Right. Loch Lomond. I need to tell you something

Now.

I'm going to call this a fact, allegedly, possibly, maybe!

I'm calling it a fact but I want you to know that I have questions about it. Big questions. Specific questions. Questions I cannot answer and apparently neither can the person who came up with this.

But here we go.

Loch Lomond.

Largest loch in Great Britain by surface area. 71 square kilometres of water. 190 metres at its deepest point.

You know this. I've told you this before. We've been here.

But today someone told me something that I have been thinking about ever since and I cannot stop.

Allegedly.

And I say allegedly because I genuinely do not know who sat down and worked this out or why or what their afternoon looked like when they decided this was a useful thing to calculate —

Allegedly.

If you emptied all the water out of Loch Lomond.

Every drop.

You could fit the entire population of the world inside it.

All eight billion of us.

In the loch.

Now.

I have so many questions.

How has someone worked this out?

What were they doing?

Were they sitting at a desk? Was this their job?
Did someone ask them to find this out or did they just decide?

And more importantly — why are we not leading with this? Why is the first thing anyone says about Loch Lomond the length and the surface area when we could be saying EIGHT BILLION PEOPLE FIT IN THIS LOCH?

Scotland is full of facts like this.

Facts that sound made up. Facts delivered completely straight. Facts that you go home and google at midnight just to check.

And there are wallabies on one of the islands. I've told you about the wallabies. The wallabies are real.

All of this is real.

Scotland just IS like this.

On every **private luxury driving tour past Loch Lomond** — I tell you facts like this.

The ones nobody else tells you.

Come and stand next to eight billion theoretical humans.

You got you’re Haircut!
The moment you’ve all been waiting for.
It’s happened.
It has actually happened.

I know.
I KNOW.
The DMs. The comments. The gentle suggestions. The not so gentle suggestions. The recommendations for barbers I was never going to visit. The people asking if the hat was hiding it. The people who were genuinely concerned.
I heard every single one of you.
And as promised — pinkie promised — it has been done.
The haircut has happened.
In October. As stated. On time. A promise made is a promise kept.

I want to say something here.
I didn’t realise when I mentioned it the first time that this was going to become a thing.
I genuinely didn’t.
And then it became a thing.
And then it became a running series within the series.
And then I had a pinkie promise on the internet in front of however many of you there are now.
So.
Here we are.
The reveal.

One man. The only man. As stated from the beginning.
He knows who he is. He did a brilliant job. He always does a brilliant job.
The hat still fits. That was the main concern. We’re good.

Right.
Now that we’ve dealt with the most important business of October 2026 — Scotland is still out there being extraordinary.
The autumn colours are absolutely something else right now.
The lochs are doing that thing they do when the light goes low and everything reflects.
There are tours to take.
Places to show people.
Highland coos to visit.
Scones to eat.
Wh**ky to drink.
The haircut is done.
The pinkie promise is honoured.
We move forward.
Together.
As always.

We were of to a visit the hat trick, Blackness Castle, The lobster pot and of course the friendliest distillery in Scotland Blackness Bay distillery! What a day and everyone had a great time, culture wh**ky and lobster what’s not to like. **ky

Today I was asked?
"Is it possible to see a Highland coo?"
Is it possible.
Is it possible.
Guys. Come on.

Of course it's possible.
It's always possible.
This is Wee Scottish Tours. Seeing Highland coos is not a stretch.
Seeing Highland coos is a Monday.
So off we went to Kilmahog to see two of my absolute favourite people.
Honey and Hamish.

Now if you've been following me for a while you'll know Honey.
She's been on this page before.
She'll be on this page again.
She is magnificent, she has a fringe that puts all of us to shame, and she has the energy of someone who knows exactly how famous she is and has decided to be unbothered by it anyway.
Hamish is the same. Big. Fluffy. Completely calm.
Looking at you like you're the interesting one.
You're not the interesting one.
They are. And they know it.

The group today — brilliant.
Genuinely brilliant.
And the moment they got close to Honey and Hamish?
You know that thing that happens?
Where someone who was maybe a wee bit unsure suddenly has their hand out and a Highland coo is eating from it and the whole face just — changes completely?
That. Every time. Gets me every time without fail.

There's something about a Highland coo up close that no photograph prepares you for.
The size of them. The gentleness of them.
The complete, total lack of urgency.
They are the most unbothered animals in Scotland.
Which is saying something in a country that also has ducks.

Kilmahog. Just past Callander.
Easy stop on any private driving tour through the Trossachs and Scottish Highlands.
Honey and Hamish are there.
They're always there.
They're not going anywhere.
Neither am I.

Want some awesome food when you visit Edinburgh!

10/10/2026

A few minutes to myself. The shore at Blackness. That view.
The group were at the Lobster Pot.
Lunch sorted. Everybody happy.
And me — five minutes, the Firth of Forth, the October sun still doing something extraordinary with the light on the water.
This is the job between the job.

I've always loved the sea.
Not just visiting it. Being near it. The specific thing that happens when you stand at the edge of water that goes on and on and the noise in your head just — quiets.
Doesn't matter how busy the day has been. Doesn't matter how much is on the list.
The sea just takes it. Every time.

Blackness on the Firth of Forth.
Blackness Castle behind me — one of only four castles in Scotland to be left partially garrisoned after the Act of Union in 1707.
Built in the 15th century on a promontory jutting into the Forth.
They call it the Ship That Never Sailed because from the water it looks like a stone vessel rising from the Firth.
And out here on the shore — the Forth stretching toward Edinburgh in one direction, toward the sea in the other.
The October light doing what October light does — low, golden, slightly melancholy, completely beautiful.
Quiet.

These moments between — while the group is happy, lunch is being enjoyed, the itinerary is exactly where it should be — these are when I remember why I do this.
Not just for the groups. For this too.
For a shore walk in October with the sun going down and the Forth going gold and nobody needing anything from me for five minutes.

This is what a private luxury driving tour of Scotland feels like from both sides.
The group, warm and fed at the Lobster Pot.
The guide, standing on a shoreline being reminded why Scotland is extraordinary.
Both of us exactly where we should be. 🌊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁷

The cones on statues is still going strong after the World Cup 2026!

Where’s the best place for coffee in Inverness these days?

04/10/2026

Today. Bannockburn. The Wallace Monument. Scotland.
Some days this job does something to you.
Today was one of those days.

Bannockburn first.
24th June 1314.
Robert the Bruce. An army outnumbered three to one by Edward II of England. The fate of Scottish independence decided on this ground.
The night before the battle, Bruce is said to have addressed his men:
“We fight not for glory, nor for wealth, nor honour, but only and alone for freedom which no good man surrenders but with his life.”
The next day — Scotland won.
Not just the battle. The country.
Standing on that ground today, the wind coming in off the fields, the statue of Bruce looking across it —
You feel it.
Every bit of it.

Then the Wallace Monument.
William Wallace. Guardian of Scotland. Executed by Edward I in 1305 — nine years before Bannockburn — for refusing to submit to English rule.
He didn’t live to see it. But Bannockburn happened because of what he started.
The monument stands 67 metres above the plain, on Abbey Craig, looking down on the field where Wallace gathered his army before the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297.
You climb it. You reach the top. You look out over the same ground he looked out over.
Scotland laid out beneath you.
Everything that was fought for, visible.

The two men who between them gave Scotland its independence.
I do this job and sometimes — sometimes — it reminds me of where I live and what this country is.
Today was one of those days.

On a private luxury driving tour of Scotland’s most historic sites — Bannockburn and the Wallace Monument belong on the same day.
Always.
