He is an impressive storyteller and created a picture of Scotland past and present that will stick with me for a very long time. We loved his “imaginary” (or not) baseball bat to keep his tour group in line. Will’s passionate knowledge of history overflowed in his story telling. We loved the way he mixed science, mythology, legends, and personal experience to leave everyone pondering the realities of fairies, Nessie, giants and the like. Will is clearly one of the top guides. Will was an excellent people person caring about all his patrons needs and going above and beyond…”

He taught us about the different terms/phrases that originated in Scotland, knowledgeable about the history, and overall good guy to be around. I'd have a pint with him outside of the tour 🤙🏾 The tour itself was a fun time with the kids! The steam train and all the filming locations was quite magical. The B+B was very nice a quaint in a beautiful little town right on the loch. Highly recommended! Cheer! -Mike”
