      Mini Bio

      Variety and people are big motivators for me, so I have worked in health care, education and most recently agriculture. In the 90s, I went to work in Europe but missed the diverse landscape and proximity to the sea. One of my best decisions was to return to live in the Highlands.

      Place to Play

      Sutherland is my long term favourite, but anywhere handy to Inverness, where I now live.

      Not a lot of people know this

      I’m named after an island near Skye, possibly meaning ‘rough island’ in old Norse.

      Biggest Adventure Read More

      4 weeks exploring the Andes on my own, reaching heights over 5,600 metres. Being a Scot, of course, I had to hire the cheapest car to get to these remote areas. Half the adventure became driving steep unsurfaced roads in a 1000cc.

      Adventurer's Stories about Rhona

      Rhona went out of her way to make sure the needs of everyone in the group were catered for. Her serenity in the face of potential problems and her ability to solve them was impressive. The only issue was that she encouraged us to eat too much!

      Rhona was superb - she was very good natured and catered to our various needs.

      My guides on both trips were top quality. They couldn't be better in any respect and are a credit to Wilderness Scotland.

      Rhona is a great guide. She went out of her way to ensure all members of the group enjoyed the days according to their level of fitness and was flexible in changing planned activities as needed. She was very knowledgeable about the area and managed to arrange some extra fun activities for our group to experience, such as an evening with the Orkney Accordion and Fiddle Club. In addition to being a good guide, Rhona also was very sociable in the group, so it felt like she was one of us, rather than just an organiser (which I have felt others have sometimes been on previous guided holidays). She's a star.

      Make Trip Private

      Sometimes it's nice to get family and friends together and travel privately for some quality time. This means you benefit from all the features of the group departure, including hand-picked accommodation and expert local guides and we'll take care of it all. Then you can make your choice of departures dates and we'll get back to you to finalise the details.

      We work together with our team of guides to decide which departures they lead each year. As part of that, guides provide available dates that they are free to be booked. This means that any of the dates you see in the first field of the form below, could be perfect for your private departure or customised tour.
