Tam is our tall Edinburgh Scot — always kilted on tour and always ready with a warm smile. Passionate about Scotland and everything it has to offer, Tam loves nothing more than sharing his country’s landscapes, stories and traditions with guests from around the world.
Happily married to his Irish wife and a proud dad to three teenage daughters, Tam balances family life with a love for the great outdoors. Living in the countryside just south of Edinburgh, he spends his free time hiking Scotland’s beautiful trails, wild swimming in just about any stretch of water he can find, golfing year-round, and playing cricket through the summer months.
When he’s not out guiding, Tam can often be found working alongside his wife on her candle business, www.cantocandle.com — a venture that brings the same care and creativity he puts into every tour.
Known for his easy-going nature and infectious enthusiasm, Tam has a reputation for finishing many days out the same way — with a refreshing dip in a loch, river, or even the sea, weather permitting of course. It’s all part of his love for living life to the full and encouraging others to do the same.
With Tam as your guide, expect great stories, genuine hospitality, and a day filled with laughter, fresh air, and memorable Scottish experiences.
