About Me

Hello


I'm Chris and I live in Grantown-on-Spey in the Cairngorms National Park. I run driver/guided tours within a 50 mile radius of Grantown, so Inverness, Loch Ness, Speyside whisky distilleries and the Cairngorm mountains are all within an hour's drive. This enables me to have frequent stops for you to view the scenery and visit key tourist attractions.


I have written three books on the area and have a love of local history, the people and the place. This area covers the mountains of the Highlands, and the forests all the way to the seaside on the Moray Firth. You will really see Scotland in miniature.


I used to work in the Highland Archive in Inverness and am also a professionally qualified genealogist, so I can help you with family history research and draw up an itinerary of places connected with your family to visit.


Please contact me if your coming to the area called Strathspey which includes the town and villages of Grantown, Aviemore, Nethy Bridge, Carrbridge, Boat of Garten. I'll be delighted to show you around.
