About Me

Hello, my name is Jill McKean and I was born and brought up in the small town of Peebles, just to the south of Edinburgh.


I'm really interested in Scottish history, and for me, nothing beats a wander around a ruined castle or an old church! I also enjoy taking visitors around our excellent museums and galleries. In our capital city of Edinburgh I can offer themed walking tours based around particular aspects of our history such as the Enlightenment or women's history; literature; and also guided tours of the National Gallery of Scotland. .


Scotland has so much to offer, from spectacular scenery, to superb food and drink, and a fascinating heritage and culture - I really am passionate about all things Scottish! I think we truly do have the best small country in the world and I would love to share it with you as your guide.
