Hello,
Thanks for dropping by my Blue Badge profile page.
Scotland is a small country packed with big stories and I would love to share them with you. From our dramatic landscapes to our action-packed history via our vibrant food and drink scene, Scotland has so much to offer.
My background
My previous career was in arts and lifestyle journalism. I have spent over twenty years interviewing everyone from rock stars to refugees as well as writing about everything from Wagyu cattle in Perthshire to burial chambers on Orkney.
Since 2015, I have been running Glasgow Music City Tours and providing guided tours of the city's incredible music scene. I have also been taking food and drink walking tours for the EatWalk company in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
All the different strands of my career have common threads: making people from all walks of life feel at ease; finding out what they are interested in and creating narratives that inform and entertain.
If you think I would be a good fit for your Scottish travels then get in touch.
