James Kilgour
Before beginning a career as a driving instructor, I spent over 5 years working in customer service in a shop. I loved working with customers, but I needed something a bit more demanding, and driving instruction seemed like a good match. Combined with my love of driving, and it seemed like the ideal job!
I have been described by my pupils as a very patient person. I understand that learning to drive is no easy task, and I try to create a relaxed atmosphere in the car. As well as teaching people to become safe, competent drivers, I also want them to have fun while doing so. Driving is a very enjoyable activity, and I try to achieve this during tuition.

I would highly recommend getting automatic driving lessons with James. After starting to learn to drive in a manual at 17 and getting a massive fright - I vowed to myself never to get back in the drivers seat of a car again and that I’d never learn to drive ever. Fast forward 7 years and I have just passed my driving test first time with 0 minors in an automatic car. I definitely think this was down to James’s great teaching techniques, patience and straight forward explanations. There was no such thing as a stupid question according to James, and he gave me the confidence to keep learning even when I didn’t have confidence in myself! A really lovely guy and I will really miss our chats every weekend! Thank you to James for all the time, positivity and confidence - couldn’t do it without him😊

I just wanted to write and say how wonderful my ProScot instructor was. So patient and professional. As an older woman, I found it quite difficult to come to driving so late and James was amazing. Lessons were very flexible and, although it did take me some time, I finally found the confidence I needed to pass my test. Thank you so much James!

I recently passed my driving test (first try!) after taking several lessons with James Kilgour. James was fantastic. He was thoughtful, patient, and informative throughout the process, providing reassurance and practical feedback that both helped me pass my test and ensured I could confidently and safely drive thereafter. James also brought a calming presence that helped ease nerves and allowed me to feel comfortable asking questions. Due to his approach, I felt both supported and prepared. I cannot recommend James highly enough!

A massive thank you to James at ProScot for being an absolute star and getting me through my test. No matter what the question he was happy to answer and had the patience of a saint even when I had my worst days with anxiety and made mistakes. He was very professional and never made me feel bad if I wasn't getting things straight away, he would take the time to explain things thoroughly and calmly. I would highly recommend James as a driving instructor.

10/10 driving instructor for automatic lessons. James is a great guy and helped calm my nerves and very clear instructions which helped a lot with reverse parking and parallel parking.

James gave my daughter a brilliant learner driver experience and helped her fulfill a life time dream of passing her test .James was polite and easy to deal with instilling confidence and fun into what can be a scary experience for some.
A fantastic driving instructor.

I have today passed my driving test with James Kilgour as my instructor. It has been stop start during covid but he could not have been better. Always takes the time to run through everything thoroughly to make sure you understand, and makes you feel at ease when you do something incorrect. I could not recommend James enough to people. I passed in his new automatic electric car and it is so smooth to drive, he is definitely the go to instructor for automatic lessons in the area.

James Kilgour is a brilliant driving instructor, very patient and relaxed. Lessons felt comfortable and I was able to progress at my own pace. James helped me to pass my test and has made me a really confident driver. I highly recommend PROSCOT driving company.

James’ professional and tailored approach to lessons made me feel safe and confident in driving. He is so kind, flexible and very patient .I couldn’t recommend him enough to anyone who is looking for an instructor. And to Mike – an inspiring person and a brilliant teacher who is sadly missed. Thank you both!
Last but not least, to the ladies at the office who were a brilliant support in organising another instructor and generally provide support after the sad passing of Mike, thank you so much.
