Whatever your interests amidst all this scenery - castles, whisky distilleries, Outlander, prehistoric stone circles, Pictish stones, Viking ruins, highland cows, ferry rides, plane rides ... we would be thrilled to customise a tour for you.
So where can you go on a Highlander Tours tour? Glencoe, Skye, Loch Lomond, The Hebrides, Cairngorms, Speyside, Islay, The Borders....The possibilities are endless. And for the Outlander fans, our guides are all well versed in the filming locations and the true history they hold. Some of our guides have filmed on multiple seasons of the show! They will give you inside knowledge of the show and the filming locations. We come prepared with extra plaids and prop weapons for you to join in on the fun!
No matter which tour you choose, we promise you a day of Scottish camaraderie, laughter, VIP treatment and memories to treasure.

The Highlander Team
Andy the Highlander
Andy was a self employed electrician, who had always dreamed of being an actor. He took the first step towards that dream when he joined Real People casting in 2015 and managed to get some great featured roles. When the call for Outlander came along, Andy jumped at the chance and spent about 60 days on seasons 2 and 3. He was also involved in Seasons 5 and 6. His wife and 2 sons have always filmed on multiple episodes of the show.
After Outlander Andy invested in kilts, swords, muskets, targes and full Jacobite outfit. His video on how to wear the plaid went viral with over 5.3 million views in the first 30 days. He started meeting with Outlander fans from all over the world and immersing himself in 18th Century Scottish history. Andy the Highlander was born - he started taking people on tours and loves every minute! Andy loves to learn and share Scottish history.
James McKinlay
James is an experienced and knowledgeable tour guide who worked in tourism while living and travelling in New Zealand for 5 years. After 8 years travelling the world he returned home to Scotland to continue his excellent services in sightseeing, history and culture.
In addition to guiding tours, James is a professional photographer and loves to get outdoors to photograph our stunning Scottish landscapes. He loves to guide all over Scotland but his favourite tours are the ones that take him to Outlander sites (he filmed on Seasons 3 and 4!), the Isle of Skye, and the mountains of Glencoe.
