  The most unforgettable Scotland Adventure with Graeme. The best storyteller, guide and friend we could ask for!  - Our 12-day Northwest Scotland tour with Graeme from start to finish was absolutely incredible. Words cannot adequately describe what an amazing time we had! Graeme’s knowledge of Scottish culture, history... read more and stories made every stop special; from Grassmarket in Edinburgh to the more remote areas of the NC500 like Applecross and Assynt as well as the islands destinations like Mull and Arran! From the moment Graeme picked us up at Edinburgh Waverly, he was friendly and professional, eager to show us what Scotland has to offer.

It was our second trip to Scotland but Graeme made everything feel new and exciting! He was more than just a tour guide or chauffeur, but felt more like a friend taking us on an epic road trip! Graeme’s storytelling and his knowledge of Scotland’s history, culture and folklore is truly unparalleled and what a joy it was for us to be able to experience it for ourselves! We could really see his enthusiasm and love for Scotland in every story he tells, and we were in absolute awe of how he can remember them all! Moreover, Graeme also has the ability to combine his story narrative with great humor and warmth, keeping us both engaged and laughing the whole way! Graeme is very passionate about what he does and he genuinely cares that both of us have the best possible experience the entire time.

Being a very type A person that loves to plan all our trips down to the minute, I was pleasantly surprised how hands off I was able to be and get to enjoy being surprised at every stop we made! Every day was perfectly planned by Graeme and we never felt rushed or bored. We had meaningful as well as funny unhinged conversations during our long drives that made this trip so memorable. He struck the ideal balance between sharing stories, visiting distilleries, going on walks and giving us time to just admire a good view of the scenery, enjoying picnics by the castle or simply just eating our meal in his car. Graeme managed to include the perfect blend between both of our wants and interests, working through an extremely long list of demands we had set out for him at the beginning of our inquiry. What was even more amazing was that Graeme was able to expertly handle all of our curve balls (spur of the moment requests) with grace and finesse!

Graeme truly went about and beyond for us in every way possible. We hope to have made a lifelong friend and we will never forget all that Graeme had done for us. Hoping to see him again for our 3rd trip to Scotland in 2027!

  The Tour of Our Dreams! Can't Wait to Book Again.  - From our very first Zoom call, Graeme started shaping the tour of our dreams. He really listened to what we wanted and designed a 7day journey that was exactly us... read more - balancing castles, museums, abbeys, ancient churches, and stunning landscapes across Scotland’s western isles. Every detail was thoughtful and seamless, from the scenic routes to how easily he handled the narrowest roads I've ever seen. As food lovers, we loved his choices. Each day had great coffee stops, excellent meals, and cozy places to stay that reflected the charm of each area. His timing was always spot on, planning bathroom breaks and evening arrivals perfectly. What made the trip unforgettable were his stories (oh, and his car playlist). Whether he was sharing history, folklore, or a perfectly timed joke, Graeme made Scotland come alive. His playlist of Scottish music, traditional and modern, set the perfect mood for every drive and added to the experience so much. We had followed Scotland’s Stories online for more than a year before the trip, and read stories from his book, but seeing Graeme’s storytelling in person exceeded our expectations. Our week with him was the highlight of our 2weeks here. We’ll absolutely book with him again. Graeme isn’t just a guide- he’s a storyteller who helps you fall in love with Scotland in a way you’ll never forget. Thank you, Graeme. Stephanie and Ken

He knows Scotland front to back and is always ready with a story or fun fact! Can’t wait to visit Scotland again and plan another tour with Graeme.

  Highly recommend! - Graeme FaceTimed with us before our trip to ask about our interests. History, botony, and bugs were on my list as a teacher. Spirits and local cusine were... read more on my husbands.

Graeme was prompt. He took us to the highlands the first day. The second day was Fife and St Andrews. We experienced gourmet chocolate, ancient churches and burial sights, the oldest tree in Europe, an outstanding lunch and a whiskey toast in the middle of a waterfall the first day. Day 2 we headed to the costal villages and St Andrews ruins and the gardens at Kallie castle. The day ended again with another scenic toast!

Graeme is very likable and has a generous spirit. We enjoyed hearing his stories of sheep shearing and lambing with his girlfriends family in addition to his wealth of knowledge about Scottish history. It seemed like we had made a dear friend by the end of our time together.

Each tour lasted from 9 am to 6 pm or so.

I will most definitely ask him to tour us again next time we come. We felt complete comfortable and safe with him even though he drives on the wrong side of the road:)))

Thank you Graeme, and watch out for those butterflies😉
