Private Orkney Tours with a Local Guide
​
Experience Orkney like never before.
Step beyond the guidebooks and explore Orkney with a local guide who calls these islands home. My private Orkney historical tours are designed for small groups of up to seven people, offering a truly personal experience shaped around what you love most – history, nature, or a bit of both.
Whether you're drawn to dramatic cliff walks, ancient stone circles, or the thrill of wild swimming in crystal-clear waters, I’ll guide you to the hidden corners and celebrated landmarks that make Orkney unforgettable.
Meet Your Local Guide – A True Orcadian Storyteller
My name is Ewan Clouston, and I was born and raised right here in the Orkney Islands. The wild sea, weathered landscapes, and deep-rooted traditions are part of my DNA.
This isn’t just a job – it’s a way of life. As a proud Orcadian and licensed guide, I offer more than facts and figures. I share the soul of Orkney through its stories, culture, and places that only a local truly knows. My small group tours combine relaxed exploration with heartfelt storytelling, giving you an authentic, immersive connection to this extraordinary, historical place.
From ancient Skara Brae to the sweeping cliffs of Yesnaby, you'll see Orkney as we do – wild, welcoming, and full of wonder.
