      Mini Bio

      It is the company of fellow travellers and friends that really releases the full joy of travel and adventure for me, I have travelled widely during and after a corporate career and I am now fortunate in being able to guide guests through the many rich experiences Scotland has to offer. I have been guiding guests in Europe and the UK for over 8 years and my passion for sharing our great outdoors never diminishes.

      Living in Edinburgh allows me to showcase one of the best cities in the world and provides easy access to the stunning wilderness of Scotland.

      Favourite Place to Play

      Any tranquil location in Scotland….of which there are many. A perfect day involves clean fresh air, hills, walking boots or a bike and perhaps a little sunshine.

      Not a lot of People Know This

      As a youth working on a milk delivery round I drank 7 pints of milk on a hot summer morning…. never to be repeated!

      What Fellow Travellers Say About Peter

      Both excellent riders with experience in managing riders of different abilities. Peter’s breadth of knowledge in both natural history and historical sites added much interest to the tour. Finlay’s local knowledge of the area and his different perspective from being raised in Scotland, added a special Scottish flavour to the trip.
