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.
