A glimpse into history from a passionate Scotsman

Alba experiences with Owner James as our driver and guide was beyond Excellant. James has a deep passion and knowledge for Scotland and it’s history. Story telling while presenting us the facts is a gift only few can claim. James does it with ease. He was careful with my husband and I and walked at our speed with numerous comfort breaks along the way. I wish we had booked more tours with him.

Experience the Scottish Battlefields through the eyes of a passionate Scot!

James has a passion for the history of Scotland that pours out of him. He is proud of his country and so knowledgeable about its history. His love and enthusiasm is contagious. He told great stories and helped us understand what happened at these battles and why. He had also asked us if we had any limitations and worked with us for the very best experience possible. We recommend him and this tour without reservation! We had a grand time.
