Highlights
All the mad medieval stories from the mighty Stirling Castle where I used to be a guide. I'll tell you the stories that the castle guides wont. Be prepared for some horrible histories. After Stirling we are all about the Highlands and lochs and glens and standing stones and whisky and more mad stories. Fixed price for up to five passengers and if you book then you will be getting me, Andrew as your tour guide.. I like to have fun. My head is jam packed full of stories and every time I learn something new that makes my jaw drop I just cant wait to tell folk about it. I'm happy if my lovely visitors are happy. I'll do my very best for you.

Itinerary
Stirling Castle was the home of Scottish royalty and the childhood home of Mary Queen of Scots. Take a guided tour from one of the expert guides on staff for an overview of this place and then allow me to take you deeper into the grandeur and stench of Stirling Castle's medieval residents with an entertaining private tour. (I was a guide here in a previous vocation)
Get your first site of the Highlands with a stop at the beautiful Loch Lubnaig. Just take a minute or ten amongst the scenery and soak it in.
Beautiful in the sunshine but utterly epic in the rain. The waterfalls are stunning. We can also visit the ancestral burial ground of a few notorious clan chiefs. We will also access private land (I know the landowner) to get up close and personal to an ancient standing stone circle. It may be small but it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
It's a lovely wee village. Stop for a photo if you like but the only reason we are here is to take the high road out of it. The road rises to about 1700ft and the views from the top are literally breath-taking. Time here for a wee shot of whisky amongst the heather.

About Edinburgh
Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, rises on volcanic hills, with a castle on a crag, a medieval Old Town and an elegant Georgian New Town.
Edinburgh Castle crowns Castle Rock and keeps the Honours of Scotland, the Scottish crown jewels. From there, the Royal Mile runs downhill through the Old Town, past St Giles' Cathedral and a warren of narrow closes, to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Scottish Parliament. Arthur's Seat, an ancient volcano, rises above the palace with sweeping views.
