Hello, I’m Graham- local tour guide, history teacher, husband to Sheila, and dad to Christina and James.

My spare time is spent with my family and staying active: I enjoy trail running, playing football, dry-stane dyke building and helping farmers during the harvest season. I am also a volunteer coach at Orkney Athletics Club where I train young athletes.

I am particularly passionate about playing in the Kirkwall Ba, a traditional and unique game played in the streets of Kirkwall during the festive season.

What was previously Kirkwall Walk’s with Graham, a fundraising initiative which allowed me to share my passion for Kirkwall with guests, has become an exciting full-time business since I stopped teaching full-time.

As a native Orcadian I am incredibly proud of our rich heritage and distinct culture so I have handpicked some of my favourite local gems and created a selection of tours that will enable you to experience the real Orkney and provide you with lasting memories that will stay with you beyond your time here.

I would be honoured and delighted should you choose me to be your guide for exploring these special islands.
