    Keith Miller

    Committed | Enthusiastic | Friendly

    Mini Bio

    I’m an enthusiastic hillwalker, mountaineer,  and naturalist. I was first introduced to the hills at age 5 by my father and to the wonders of nature by my mother even earlier.

    After a career in mountain environment conservation, latterly as Senior Conservationist for the John Muir Trust, I now have a few jobs, including as a Wilderness Scotland guide. In winter, I work as an Avalanche Forecaster for the Sportscotland Avalanche Information Service (SAIS) and guide winter hill walking skills courses. During the rest of the year, I guide walking holidays in Scotland and some abroad. I also run mountain environment courses and carry out upland plant surveys.

    In my view, one of the great things about being in hill, mountain, coastal, and other wild environments is experiencing their tremendous and ever-changing variety: scenery, habitats, wildlife, weather – even the people!

    Favourite Place to Play

    The Cairngorms – such a diversity of landscapes, coires and crags, habitats, wildlife, and weather.

    Not a lot of People Know This

    One of the reasons I keep coming back for more WS trips is the quality of the guides. I use the very unscientific criteria of whether or not I would ike to be enjoying a pint with the guide at the pub and Keith is definitely someone who I'd be happy to chat away with of an evening. Very knowledgeabe about wildlife and had eagle eyes for spotting different birds way before the group saw them.

    Keith did a great job explaining in detail the botany and wildlife and ecology of the areas that we walked in. He also planned our routes to take advantage of the great weather and give us a range of terrain to experience 9and some extra Munro tops!). It was great to have Struan with us too, as he made a couple of routes possible for us by running or cycling ahead to fetch the van, so we didn't have to do the last hard miles on tarmac. It was nice to see Keith and Struan being inventive like this to make the trip better for everyone, and it was really appreciated.

    Both Keith and Graham were excellent guides. Both very knowledgeable about the places we visited as well as Scotland itself, its wildlife and its history. Each day all of the group were included, no one was left out or behind if they had stopped to take photographs etc. There was a good mixture of seriousness, and explanations as well as friendly banter and teasing, which made an excellent atmosphere. We were given options as well during the trip, of places we could visit and see and we were asked if there was anything, in particular, we wanted to see /do then they would try to fit this in. Travel transfers with ferries and hire cars were smooth and well planned, walks were challenging enough and well planned and if there was a change in weather there were other options planned out for the group. Overall the two leaders Keith and Graham were excellent and I would like to pass on again my thanks for a truly wonderful trip, one I will remember for a very long time to come, I really really enjoyed my holiday time with them and the group.

Keith was very knowledgeable about all aspects of what we experienced be that the historic sites or the flora and fauna. He was particularly strong on wildlife especially birds, a revelation to us. He was also strong on safety and didn’t hesitate to call out other members of the group who constantly pushed boundaries close to cliffs, doing so in a respectful but no nonsense manner. He is a credit to your company and I will consider other adventures with Wilderness Scotland based on the quality of your personnel.

    Keith Miller was the ultimate guide. His thorough knowledge of the flora, fauna, terrain, history, and land management issues of each place we visited is truly outstanding. We hike independently in the U.S. and take many self-guided trips abroad; but this trip would have been very difficult and much less enjoyable without a guide of his caliber. This trip is an outstanding value. For those of us used to hiking in national parks in the U.S., the British trail systems appear very difficult to navigate with so many private property access restrictions and the general absence of signs. Mr. Miller was always well prepared with weather forecasts, multiple maps, and an unerring sense of where to go and what we might experience. He was also very flexible and tailored the itinerary to the weather and our interests -- immediately identifying birds by their song and plants by both their Latin and English names en route. He even provided us a complete list of these at the end of the trip. Outstanding is the only word to describe his knowledge, experience and expertise as a guide!

    Keith made our trip. His advice and instruction was always delivered in a helpful friendly way, he went out of his way to ensure our specific requirements were met. Rightly safety minded he taught us a great deal that will be useful to us in years to come. Highly recommend.

    It was obvious that Keith has a lot of knowledge about the plants and birds on the Orkneys, I loved to learn more about them. He was a very flexible tour guide and I appreciate all the preparations and plans he had to make for the constantly changing weather.

    Full and varied group was a challenge but I think Keith succeeded in making everyone feel at home on the trip. Good bird skills a bonus for us.

    Keith was great. He was very knowledgeable about lots of aspects of the holiday including the birds .He was very personable and made a great job of balancing the different interests of the eight participants - listening to us and being flexible with the itinerary. I'd be very happy to travel with him again. Great guy.
