      Mini Bio

      Halò/Dia duit/Hi!

      I’m a Northern Irish native who has followed the Celtic Connection to Scotland. My Wilderness Scotland journey began unofficially back in 2017, when I saw them as the company I wanted to guide for. Fast forward to 2023, and I had my first journey. Since then, I have guided on two feet, two wheels, and two blades, doing my utmost to meet the needs of our clients and doing all I can to ensure their wishlist is met.

      The West Coast of Scotland is where I call home. Whilst it is steeped in clan history, myths and legends, wonderful geology and an abundance of flora and fauna, I’ve yet to spot a Haggis scurrying across a bealach.

      Favourite Place to Play

      I absolutely love off-road biking and mountain running in wild places. Whatever the weather! The West Coast, extending as far north as Cape Wrath, offers some truly wild, rugged, and remote terrain that is utterly breathtaking. My favourite place cannot be just one.

      Not a lot of People Know This

      I had a past life as a mural artist, a breakdancer, a kickboxer, a taekwondo fighter and even flirted a bit with pole dancing. I believe you should give anything and everything a go, even if it’s just once.
