I love Scotland’s people, landscapes, history and wildlife. So much so that I moved here 30 years ago seeking work. Now I share what I love with people who choose to have a memorable experience in this small and beautifully formed country. I'm always learning from visitors questions - no two days are the same. I’ve been a geologist, expedition leader and project manager implementing systems for government, social care, apprenticeships and the Highland Cattle Society.
