Specialist history, heritage and cultural tours of Scotland. Spectacular scenery a given! Scotland is incredible.

From castles and clans to archaeology and ancestry, Scotland's cultural heritage is rich and varied, and I'd love to help you experience it. As well as being a Blue Badge guide, I have a PhD in Scottish history and a background in higher education, historical research and cultural heritage. So, whether you're interested in ancient archaeology, Wallace and Bruce, kings and queens, religious history

/ Reformation, witches, Covenanters, Jacobites, the Enlightenment, industrial heritage or many of the other fascinating aspects of Scottish history, I'm in a pretty decent position to (at least try to!) answer your questions. Along the way, we can uncover so much more that Scotland has to offer: we can explore quirky customs, ceremonies, folklore and superstitions; feast on superb Scottish produce; embark on a whisky or gin trail; spot spectacular wildlife; bask in breathtaking scenery; visit film and literary locations (yes - definitely Outlander!); and photograph iconic landscapes, buildings and architecture. Allow me to help you make the most of your trip. :-)

She got to go into the church where her grandfather had decided he wanted to become a minister, and we visited her family grave in the modern cemetery in Clackmannan. Altogether a very moving and rewarding day.

The weather may have changed but the amazing ferry trips continue. This time we went the best possible way to Skye, on the , the world’s only remaining manually operated turntable ferry. What a treat! And the single track roads on either side of the crossing are brilliant too. ⛰️
