Welcome to Kingdomguides. With over thirty years in the Scottish hills — from Boy Scout to qualified Mountain Leader, NNAS navigation instructor and Mountain Safety Advisor to the BBC — I provide bespoke backpacking trips through remote mountain terrain for small parties of up to six.

We aren’t just about bagging Munros or chasing summit ticks. We journey through the landscape — drove roads, deerstalker tracks, coffin routes and old rights of way that most people never find. Taking our time, absorbing the beauty as we go, leaving no trace of our ever being there.
