About Me

My name is Sarah and I am a professional Blue Badge guide, member of the Scottish Tourist Guides Association and licensed to guide all over Scotland.

My main passions are history, folklore, storytelling and human beings, that is why in 2013 I decided to become a guide.

My fondness for Scotland started when I was just 6 years old, when I fell in love with "The Fairy Flag" a traditional tale about a magical protective flag donated to the clan MacLeod by the fairies and guarded at Dunvegan Castle on the enchanting Isle of Skye (hence the name of my business "Fairy Flag Tours").

Since then my love story with Scotland, its traditions and breathtaking landscapes grew, evolving into my fulfilling job which combines my my passion for this country, performing arts and people.

I believe that delivering tours means also to have a good time and my enjoyment is infectious! Being empathetic is a fundamental skill when working with people, therefore my tours are tailored according to customers’ needs.

I love meeting people from all over the world, and I make it my mission to provide memorable tours and experiences for my clients.

When I’m not guiding, I spend time researching and exploring to help keep my tours fresh, interesting and relevant.

I can’t wait to show you Scotland through my eyes and

I look forward to hearing from you!


Some Customer Testimonials:

Tony R. from the USA: I have taken many tours in many countries and Sarah is the best of them all. She is not only a wonderful guide but a beautiful soul as well. Her energy, enthusiasm and humor made the tour an unforgettable experience. If you are visiting Scotland I urge you to consider Sarah. It will be the best travel decision you'll ever make.


Mary S. from the USA: We had a wonderful tour with the amazing Sarah. There were ten of us in our group ranging in age from 14-51. She kept everyone engaged and we learned so much. She is a gifted storyteller and made our trip to Edinburgh very meaningful. We loved spending four hours with her since she has such a delightful personality. Thank you, Sarah!


Halina S. from the Netherlands: Sarah is a lovely and caring person. Before our tour she informed us about weather conditions and what to expect. During the tour she kept everyone satisfied from the youngest to the eldest. She is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, easily switching between Harry Potter and reformation of the church. We enjoyed our tour very much!


Nadine G. from the USA: Immediately upon meeting Sarah it felt as if I was meeting a friend by the end of our tour I believe we became friends. Sarah is high energy, has a wealth of information she is excited to share and she created a tour to my interests. She answered all my questions. I never felt rushed yet because Sarah was so interesting it was hard to believe the time past so quickly. Sarah will leave you with many recommendations for the remainder of your visit. Have fun and say "hi" to Sarah for me.


Rachel S. from the USA: Sarah is amazing! My husband and I booked a tour for our first time in Edinburgh and our afternoon with Sarah was a highlight. Sarah is thoughtful, personable, and super knowledgeable about the history of the city and of Britain. She went above and beyond to give us an outstanding tour. We would highly recommend her to anyone!


Hai C. from Germany: An excellent experience with the organization and tour guide. It's very informative and funny, for Scottish history, culture, architectural development to the lifestyle of local people. I can highly recommend this sort of private tour. We are very happy


Robert F. from the USA: This is my second tour with Sarah as we enjoyed her knowledge, helpful tips and enthusiasm the first time so had to try and book her again. Once again she went above and beyond and covered new areas and topics of Edinburgh. She is excellent! See you next time!


Rob M. from the USA: The best private tour we've ever taken! Sarah was extremely knowledgeable, highly engaging, and provided the perfect blend of historical perspective, amusing stories, and local insight. Our teenage daughters loved her enthusiasm and we all appreciated the ideal itinerary that Sarah crafted based on our exchanges prior to arrival. Highly, highly recommended!



In Italiano:

Mi chiamo Sarah e sono una guida professionista Blue Badge, parte della Scottish Tourist Guides Association e autorizzata a guidare in tutta la Scozia.


Le mie principali passioni sono la storia, il folklore, raccontare storie catturando l'interesse dei miei ospiti e, naturalmente, gli esseri umani, ecco perché nel 2013 ho deciso di diventare guida.


La mia passione per la Scozia è iniziata quando avevo solo 6 anni, quando mi sono innamorata della Bandiera Fatata, un racconto tradizionale su una magica bandiera protettiva donata al clan MacLeod dalle fate e custodita al castello di Dunvegan nell'incantevole isola di Skye (da qui il nome della mia attività "Fairy Flag Tours", cioè "I Tour della Bandiera Fatata").


Da allora la mia storia d'amore con la Scozia, le sue tradizioni e i suoi paesaggi mozzafiato è cresciuta, evolvendosi nel mio lavoro appagante, che unisce la mia passione per questo paese, le arti dello spettacolo e le persone.


Credo che offrire tour significhi anche divertirsi e il mio divertimento è contagioso! Essere empatici è un'abilità fondamentale quando si lavora con il pubblico, quindi i miei tour sono personalizzati in base alle esigenze dei clienti.


Adoro incontrare persone provenienti da tutto il mondo e la mia missione è fornire tour ed esperienze memorabili ai miei clienti.


Quando non guido, passo il tempo a fare ricerche ed esplorare per mantenere i miei tour sempre aggiornati, interessanti e pertinenti.


Non vedo l'ora di mostrarvi la Scozia attraverso i miei occhi!


Vi aspetto!
