This Is Our Story

Hi, I’m Barney, the driver/guide/owner here at My Scottish Tour.

 

I've been a tour guide and driver now for 13 years, and every time I take guests to the Highlands, or castle spotting, or whisky sampling, I'm reminded that I really do have the best job in the world, in the best place in the world to visit. And I'd like to share that with you.

 

I graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2008 with a degree in history. While a student there, I worked as a walking tour guide of Edinburgh, and also co-founded the university's first ever comedy writing and performing society, known today as the Edinburgh Revue. These experiences helped me hone the art of storytelling in an entertaining and interesting way.

 

If you tour with me, you'll certainly learn plenty about Scottish history (and a fair amount about geography, nature, whisky, architecture or almost anything else you want to know about) but most importantly, you'll hopefully be entertained. You don't have to remember a single piece of information I give you on my tours, so long as you enjoy the stories along the way.

 

So sit back in my luxury Mercedes minivan, relax, and let me show you some of what this amazing country has to offer.
