Luxury Private Tours of Scotland, Owner-Guided Highland Adventures with Bagpipes & Whisky
Experience authentic Private Tours of Scotland with owner Graeme, your personal Scottish guide who designs, drives AND guides your entire journey. You get the passionate business owner who was born, bred, and breathes Scotland, ensuring personal attention from enquiry to farewell.
As a native Scot from Dumfries and Galloway, I will show you authentic Scotland, hidden Highland gems that tour buses cannot reach, and historic castles with tales that bring Scottish history to life. You will travel in luxury comfort while I share stories of Kings, Queens, and Highland clans, all while wearing authentic Highland dress and treating you to traditional Scottish bagpipe music at scenic Highland locations.
Meet Your Personal Scottish Tour Guide
Firstly, let me introduce myself. My name is Graeme, your personal Scottish tour guide and owner of Kilted Piper Tours.
I am passionate about all things Scottish and hail from the glorious, scenic Dumfries and Galloway region, in the South West of Scotland. I have lived for many years now in the beautiful coastline of Ayrshire, which also boasts the birthplace of our famous national bard, Robert Burns.
I have a unique approach to private Scottish tour guiding, as I not only offer the historical facts and timelines, but I am also a great storyteller.
I marvel at Scottish history – Kings and Queens, murder, corruption and all the folklore embroiled in wonderful stories. I bring these tales to life and enjoy the pleasure my private Scotland tour groups get from our Scottish adventures.
In addition, I always travel in full authentic Highland dress, and you will be treated to traditional Scottish bagpipe music at selected scenic locations.
