About Me

I  am passionate about Scotland, its history and its people.
I have resided in various parts of the Highlands since leaving the Royal Navy in 1981.
I am a retired police officer and have worked throughout the Highlands and Islands. This has provided me with a vast knowledge of the area and it would be fair to say that I have friends and contacts throughout Scotland as a result.
I take great pleasure in passing my knowledge to my clients in a professional but entertaining way. 
My favourite tipple is of course whisky, (too much so according to my wife ). I was in fact a Distillery tour guide for a period. I am interested in its production and its tradition and I am well acquainted with the various whisky regions of Scotland.
My hobbies include History, Fly Fishing, Hill Walking, Golf, Football, Rugby.
I am married with a grown up Daughter and Son.
