My tour is unique as I am your personal driver/guide and I am a British Army Veteran with over 25 years service in one of the most famous Scottish Highland Regiments of the British Army and I offer a tour experience like no other. You will be met by me a very experienced and knowledgeable guide dressed in kilt or full Jacobite attire. I will then spend the next 8 or maybe 9 hours with you and during this time I will regale you with stories about monsters, legends, battles, castles, heroes and villains. I guarantee that you will feel totally informed and be well entertained throughout the day. A minimum of 2 guests are required for my tours and therefore your booking may be cancelled if this requirement is not met. I will normally let you know at least 7 days in advance if this happens. If you wish to book a private tour and set your own itinerary please get in touch by either e-mail or mobile and we can negotiate a price that everyone is comfortable with. Hope to see you all soon.

What To Expect
Loch Ness Region
Your fantastic day out with Tony starts with a scenic journey down the East side of Loch Ness. You will stop and be told the true story of St. Columba and the very first documented eye witness report on a large water beast that attacked one of his followers trying to retrieve a boat. You will actually stand in an area of approximately 50m where St. Columba stood over 1,400 years ago.
Urquhart Castle
After boarding your vehicle it's off to Urquhart Castle where you will have a great photo opportunity whilst Tony regales you with the history of the Fraser's and the Grant Clans and how they changed sides during every Jacobite Rebellion from the late 1600's until the mid 1700's.

Simply the Best

5.00Tony was a phenomenal guide to the area and its history. His passion for the history bleed through in his stories and explanations. He was so personable and kind that when he started talking, even other people would stop to listen. His company was a pleasure and if I ever find myself in the area, I will absolutely re-book.
How did we get so lucky?!...

5.00How did we get so lucky?! We have taken many tours over the years. This was one of the best! Tony is obviously very devoted to his beloved Scottish Highlands. He is a fountain of information regarding Scottish history and the Highlands. His military service makes him the ideal guide for the Culloden battlefield part of the tour. We finished the tour at 6 PM rather than the scheduled 5 PM because of his desire to give us the full measure of his knowledge and experience. If you want to see the sights around Inverness, this is the tour for you.
