Reviews:

Tiso Outdoor Experience Inverness

 We had a huge amount of positive feedback, it was an absolute success. We were also getting asked when the next event like this would be.

St Duthac Book and Arts Festival, Tain

Our closing event of the festival was the extraordinary John D. Burns! Fascinating, inspiring, hilarious – what a wonderful way to finish the festival.

Atmospheric, amusing and informative.  John brought to life his experiences of adventuring in the great outdoors in a creative and engaging performance.
