      Mini Bio

      I was born and raised in a remote whisky smugglers’ glen in the Braes of Glenlivet and have always been very attached to Scottish landscapes and moving through them. I like to spend my time diving for Scallops on the West Coast, running the ladder hills on my doorstep or back-country skiing the icy Cairngorm plateau. It’s an honour to guide trips that showcase Scotland’s breathtaking beauty and passionate communities who are connected to their land.

      Favourite Place to Play

      In amongst the mighty Cuillins on the Isle of Skye and in Torridon’s kelpy waters, looking for Scallops. Of course, also closer to home in the Cairngorms too!

      Not a lot of People Know This

      I currently live in a fancy canvas tent, it’s a yurt with a big wood burner and my favourite place to be!

      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.
