I was born and bred in Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, and still live there. I took advantage of an economic downturn to change career and pursue my lifelong interest in Scotland. I've never regretted it. I've been guiding professionally in Edinburgh since 2008 and further afield since 2011.
I'd be delighted to show you round my home city or my native land. I do everything from half-day walking tours of Edinburgh to week long tours of the Highlands. I'm a fully qualified Member of the Scottish Tourist Guides Association and a qualified Blue Badge Scottish Tourist Guide for the whole of Scotland. I'm also a graduate historian and an accredited “Whisky Ambassador”.
My Life Memberships include Historic Scotland, the National Trust for Scotland, the Saltire Society, the Scottish Wildlife Trust, the John Muir Trust, the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland and the Architectural Heritage Society of Scotland.
Fully qualified Scottish Tourist Guide (Blue Badge) Certificate of Higher Education from Edinburgh University (studying such aspects of Scotland as Geology, Archaeology, Landscape Interpretation, History, Architecture, Society, Culture and Art). Honours degree in Politics and Modern History, and formerly qualified in Scots Law. Accredited trainer of trainee tourist guides. Accredited Whisky Ambassador. Higher National Certificate in Acting and Performance.
