The Lowlands are where most Scots live, yet the Highlands feature more strongly in Scottish folk consciousness, resulting in the Lowlands being somewhat neglected from a culture-historic perspective. This is ironic because the Lowlands have been the center of the Scottish government and economy throughout history.

Lowland Heritage Tours focuses on exploring some of the deepest past of the Lowlands, reaching back to the dawn of written records concerning this part of the world. On these tours you will experience a journey back to the Iron Age, when the Picts, not the Scots, lived in this area. However, their descendants are still around, could you be one of them?

I have a unique perspective on this period of history and have had a specific interest in the Iron Age since high school. I have a degree in archaeology and have over a decade of experience visiting hillforts.

Come and spend some time in the outdoors, while I tell you tales of battles and folklore surrounding the hillforts. You will learn about the origins of the Picts, how they lived, how they maintained connections with faraway lands in the Iron Age and how they responded to the arrival of the Romans in their territory. Don your boots and jacket and venture with me to the deepest past, when times were tribal and folk were fierce!
