Overview

Now in my second season, I’m offering truly customisable and unique guided tours of Orkney and its outer islands. As a native Orcadian with a lifetime of experience, I’ll share stories and insights that you won’t find online! With four generations of my family living in Orkney and Island roots that trace back to the 1700s, I aim to make each tour a personal and unforgettable experience, reflecting my deep passion for these islands.

“This all day tour is my flagship product and is, in my opinion the best day tour I can offer to people wanting to take in the history and way of life of us (Orcadians), relaxed and full of information My aim is to make this the best tour you have been on!”

This product is fully customisable to any full day tour in Orkney, The listed itinerary is for mainland Orkney.

I have no fixed routes or rehearsed scripts, allowing me to meet your interests. All my tours are private, ensuring you get the best possible experience.
