Emy McLeod

Both guides were very knowledgeable and kept us informed of the weather limitations and the options open to us. Greatly enjoyed their humor and resourcefulness that they brought.

I’ve had vicki on both my previous trips with Wilderness Scotland. Excellent as always. It was my first time meeting Emmy and I was happy to work with her. Lots of local knowledge and expertise to share. They really took care of us in camp and on the water.

- flexible respecting our individual needs
- Always suggested different options

Emy as our tour guide organised the whole day from morning to bedtime. The days and evenings were varied and entertaining. She paid attention to each individual in the group and made all activities flexible.
Emy rests within herself and conveys the enthusiasm she has for the environment, nature, landscape and walking.
There were other people who shared their passion with us (e.g. wild swimming) - thank you to everyone involved.
You were very inspiring!

Emy was outstanding, always there with facts or advice, never looking for the limelight, just born for this job.

Emy and Jill really made the trip special, lovely people, very experienced, shared their knowledge a kept us safe and a low water demanding paddle

Emy and Jill couldn't do enough for us.

The guidance on the river was great - instructions were clear and we felt well supported in the more challenging parts. At no point did i feel we were being patronised or told off for making a mistake / needing to be rescued.

They also performed well in ensuring a good group dynamic, keeping everyone motivated.

Emmy and Gillian kept us safe, were great leaders and good company.

Very impressed with how our guides explained the options for different routes they were looking at and how these were effected by the tides and weather. Emy and Stuart did an excellent job of looking after everyone and were very patient. Our guides were very knowledgeable about all aspects of our trip (tides, weather, geology, history, wildlife and much more).

both guides Stewart and Emy were excellent teachers, patient, pleasant and capable. I learnt a lot and had a great time largely due to them

Both Emy and Stuart were knowledgeable, enthusiastic, fun and I really couldn't have asked for more ...... though Emy did far too much in the kitchen at breakfast times :)

Emy and Stewart were brilliant. Having never been in a kayak before this trip, they made me feel safe, motivated and encouraged me, taught me some new skills and made me want to do more kayaking.
They both clearly love their jobs and that passion is visible. It was also great to hear them talk so highly and with such pride of Wilderness Scotland. Both Emy and Stewart are exceptional ambassadors for Wilderness Scotland and in fact Scotland.
If, or rather when I do another trip with Wilderness Scotland, I'll be requesting Emy and Stewart as my guides. Thank you so much both.

One proud moment for me was being able to fasten my spraydeck to the kayak without help, big thanks to Emy for all her expertise and tips

Absolutely first class. As mentioned earlier, this was a family trip and Emy & Mike soon felt like part of the family. They coped well with the different fitness levels within the group and also had to adapt the planned itinerary because of the weather. There was only one "incident" when one of the Canoes capsized which is when their quick, but calm response, showed their experience and prevented what was a minor incident becoming a major problem. Would be more than happy to do another trip with them.

Emy & Kate were excellent and are a credit to your organisation

Emy and Mike were excellent guides. There for everybody throughout the trip and would go the extra mile if necessary. Very helpful, friendly and understanding at all times.

Both guides, Mike and Emmy, were outstanding. Very professional, very sociable and knowledgable. Helpful, reassuring and hard working both on the water and at campsite.

Emy was a superstar. Knowledgeable and matched the hikes to the groups ability .

Emy was knowledgable, super friendly, and very aware of the groups' needs which I appreciated, including setting the pace, deciding which hikes to do and how long, and making sure everyone had someone to talk to and walk with.

Both the guides were terrific. Knowledgeable, helpful and calm at all times.

Both Emy and Crayton were phenomenal guides. Whether it be providing yummy breakfast, lunch or dinner, assembling or striking camp, route finding in wet and windy conditions, or fabulous raconteurs of historical, natural or paddling facts! They provided a lovely balance in ensuring that we felt safe at all times, whilst making sure that we each had loads of fun and boy, did we have loads of fun! If you're thinking of booking a paddling trip, then book with Emy and / or Crayton on a Wilderness Scotland trip.

Excellent guides we spent the majority of our time with Crayston Renner rafted together, his confidence spread to the whole group during our crossing of Loch Ness. He truly is a fantastic individual:

Emy Mcleod and Crayston Renner were excellent.

They were amazing and sooooo patient! They made the trip memorable.

Both Dan and Emy were brilliant. We cannot fault them and they certainly made the trip exciting and interesting. Always there to help and never losing patience. Such beautiful people.

Emy and Dan were excellent guides. They went the extra mile to ensure that we had a great trip that ran smoothly. At all times, they were cheerful, approachable and unflappable.

Emy and Dan were highly professional and proved equal to any problems that cropped up; for example re-arranging an entire day when low water levels made it impossible to paddle at one location. Without their good humour, helpfulness and hard work, the trip would not have been nearly as good an experience.

EMMY AND ANDREW WERE EXCELLENT GUIDES. KNOWLEDGABLE CARING, EMPATHETIC AND WORKED VERY WELL AS A TEAM. WE COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR BETTER. WE FELT SAFE AND ENABLED IN THEIR COMPANY. THEY PLAYED A FUNDAMENTAL PART IN BRINGING THE GROUP TOGETHER. PLEASE THANK THEM WARMLY.

Over the years I have climbed many mountains both with and without guides. Having known so many I can honestly say that both Emy and Andrew have the perfect mix of knowledge, humour, empathy, and competencies. Two great guys, my thanks.

Both Emmy and Andrew are very knowledgeable and clearly love the job they do. Their enthusiasm comes through in everything they do.

Both guides on our trip were knowledgable about the area, the sport and had a passion for their job,

Emy was absolutely excellent in all areas and we could not recommend her enough! She was flexible, easy going, highly knowledgeable and skilled in navigating the areas we were in. She was fantastic company and fostered a kind and fun atmosphere throughout the trip. Her sense of adventure is absolutely contagious! We really appreciated her attention to detail to help our trip feel extra special and meet our needs and preferences. Anyone going out on future trips with Emy is very very lucky indeed!

Emmy was very good indeed. She was knowledgeable and friendly and never seemed to be flustered when things needed slight alteration or very slow traffic threatened to cause a train to be missed ( it wasn't! ) She is extremely competent, has a good sense of humour and is very easy to get on with.
I would be really pleased to have Emmy as a guide again!

Very friendly, knowledgeable.

Emy is a really excellent guide - well-organised, thoughtful and caring. She was skillful in recognising and coping with the very different abilities and needs of each member of the group, and ensured we could safely enjoy the walk at different speeds. I am very grateful for her help and encouragement, which enabled me to enjoy and complete the walk.

Emmy was just a perfect guide, careful driver, shy helped when it was necessary and solved the problems, which came up, efficiently.

As I said in the beginning, Emy Macleod was a wonderful guide in every way. It's obvious she loves her work and the outdoors.

Emy was great!

Emy did an amazing job navigating the wide variety of abilities, desires, and personalities in our group. She offered options for stronger hikers to go on ahead while she provided to support to those needing it. She also had a great balance in supporting the back of the pack without hovering over them with worry. Her love of Scotland is undeniable and contagious. And she’s just an impressive and interesting person to spend time with. She also genuinely seemed to care that we were comfortable and happy.
