Mini Bio

Growing up in rural Perthshire in the heart of Scotland was a gift for a young man with a desire to be outdoors. I’ve lived and worked in the countryside for the best part of my formative years working in Farming, Forestry and Landscape Gardening.

However, I’ve always been consistently curious about Stories, People and Culture and I joined the BBC as a Broadcast Journalist in the 1990’s which turned into a long lasting creative and wonderful career.

I’m also a qualified Executive Business coach with over 15 years experience specialising in Personal and Professional development within Corporate Organisations and Not for Profit companies.

A recent career break cycling through Vietnam was a revelation and consolidated my passion to guide and provide unique, immersive experiences for visitors to Scotland.

Where to start! Walking through the Quiraing on Skye. Swimming in the Sea at Elie, Fife. Cycling into Applecross on the West coast, having climbed the Bealach na Ba (Applecross Pass).
