About
Just a little About me!
I am a professionally trained Blue Badge Scottish Tourist Guide and I am a member of the Scottish Tourist Guides Association.
Hello and welcome to my website!
I arrived in Scotland over 30 years ago to visit a friend and I never left!
I have seen Scotland through the eyes of a visitor and now of someone who lives here permanently.
Having travelled extensively around the world it is Scotland which still manages to excite me with its spectacular scenery, people, history and culture.
As well as being a qualified 'Whisky Ambassador,'
I am also a member of Historic Environment Scotland, Edinburgh World Heritage and Archaeology Scotland.
I would like to share my love of Scotland with you and take you on a journey where you can experience world famous visitor attractions, or the off the beaten track hidden gems. For extended tours I drive my own Mercedes V Class MPV that comfortably seats 7 passengers.
