Graham is from Aberdeenshire, but for 29 years was a resident of Durness, Sutherland, in the far north of the Highlands, where he was the headteacher in the local school. Since qualifying as a guide in 2014 he has toured extensively in central and northern Scotland including Orkney and Western Islands. He has also carried out day tours in Aberdeen city and shire as well as to whisky distilleries. He has led specialist tours to historic homes and ones involving steam traction and travelling by train. Extended touring, where there is time to get to grips with the culture and scenery of Scotland, is something he particularly enjoys doing.
