Alasdair has a lifelong love of the Scottish countryside, Scottish history and architecture. He grew up in the picturesque northeast of Scotland, moved to Edinburgh as an adult, and then lived and worked abroad for many years as a journalist and photographer. Despite extensive travels, Scotland remains Alasdair’s passion. He returned there in 2011, and now takes great pleasure in repaying the wonderful hospitality he received on his journeys by welcoming visitors to his own beautiful homeland. Alasdair currently lives in Glasgow, and when he’s not guiding or globetrotting is keen on hillwalking in the Scottish countryside and savouring a good malt from time to time.
