TOP TIP FOR VISITORS
Give yourself plenty time to explore this small awesome country and hire a Blue Badge Professional Tourist Guide to introduce you to some golden nuggets of Scotland’s past and present. Sample world-famous quality Scottish food in some of the most beautiful settings. Take in a traditional music session in a 17th century pub or simply unwind with a walk through some amazing mountain scenery.
IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING IN SCOTLAND
Walk the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. Stroll through the centuries in the footsteps of Royals and ordinary folk past and present, soaking in the historic buldings and lingering in one of the many pubs, cafés or even a “hidden garden” on the way.

Client Feedback
You (Mike) were a brilliant guide and a true Scottish gentleman. My group has enjoyed you immensely. I will never look at the same sort of geological scene again without thinking of your “lessons” for us! I too share your love and passion for this beautiful land.
