Andy the Highlander Author

Andy McAllindon, aka Andy the Highlander, is a Scottish content creator and tour guide who shares his love for his homeland with the world. His videos have accumulated tens of millions of views online and he has followers from all around the world united by their love for Scotland. Before all that, Andy was a qualified electrician and owned his own business for many years before deciding to pursue his passion for acting. This led him to an opportunity to appear in Outlander, which in turn sparked Andy’s interest in real Jacobite and Scottish history. This spark turned into a flame, leading to Andy purchasing a full Jacobite outfit and getting online – his video on how to wear the tartan went viral with over 5.3 million views in the first 30 days. Andy now takes guests from all over the world around Scotland with his company Highlander Tours and has established himself as one of Scotland’s best, and busiest, guides.
