4.00Torvah was great. He drew us in with the stories and made the history come alive. He was quirky for sure but also knowledgeable and shared the stories, with enthusiasm, clarity, and a genuine love for the history. Thanks to Torvah, our visit was not just informative but unforgettable. I would recommend him to anyone wanting to experience Scotland’s history in a vivid and engaging way.
A wonderful tour

More Than Just an Outlander Tour

5.00An awesome experience seeing the filming sites of Outlander, but what truly made the tour extraordinary was Dusty’s incredible knowledge of the history behind each location and his engaging storytelling. He brought the places to life with context, humour, and insight, making the day feel immersive rather than just a sightseeing tour. A memorable experience from start to finish.
Great experience

5.00The guide, Dusty, was super. He was friendly and had a lot of knowledge. It was also nice that we were with a small group. The only downside was that we couldn't go to lallybroch. This was the reason for us to book this trip in the first place.
The good driver
