What is your passion?

Family is my passion. I am also heavily into Clay Target Shooting.

Tell us about you and where you live? 

I live with my wife of 46 years and our cocker spaniel,  Glen. Our family, a son and daughter, are grown up with their own families.  We have 4 grandchildren.

We live in Dunoon, the town that I grew up in. 

I served in the Police for thirty years and lived all over Argyll in various posts. We moved back to Dunoon 24 years ago and I  completed my Police Service here and retired almost 18 years ago.

I am also into cars.

Do you have a favourite tour?

My favourite tour is 7 days. On this tour you have time to get to know your guests and I feel you get to see the best of Scotland. 

What’s your favourite drink amongst friends?

I enjoy whisky as my favourite tipple. I lived on the Isle of Islay on two separate terms where most of the whisky is made so it would be wrong not to drink it!

When you’re not on tour, what do you enjoy doing?

My wife and I have a touring caravan and like to tour our lovely country when we can.

What do you love about Scotland?

I love the people, the mountains, the scenery and of course the national drink.

 

What people say...
We just got back from another great trip hosted by Best Scottish Tours. We did the 4 Day Historic Castles, Highland Villages & East Neuk mini tour, which also included a cruise on Loch Ness (which was one of our favorite memories). Our guide/driver, Alex, was great. He was very friendly and we were amazed by his knowledge of everywhere we went. He even filled our drive times with beautiful views and quick pit stops for pictures. There was only one other person in our tour, who we enjoyed meeting and traveling with, which allowed plenty of room to spread out in the van. The hotels we stayed in were top notch as well as the meals. Thank you Alex, and Best Scottish Tours, for wonderful memories that will last a lifetime! sandytoes311, USA
