In 2015, I completed a PhD in Scottish history at the University of Aberdeen and since then I have been leading walking tours through Edinburgh. It has been a constant pleasure for me to show off the most beautiful city of the United Kingdom to new arrivals and reveal just some of its charms, secrets and unbelievable stories.

Car and bus tours are all very well for getting a sense of Edinburgh but it’s only through walking that travellers can truly feel like they’ve fully experienced this truly unique city.

I’m a keen traveller (I’ve spent a lot of time in the United States, Canada and continental Europe especially), therefore I understand the desire to make sure you make the most of your time while in a new place. My academic background has given me extensive knowledge of Scotland’s history and culture but my guiding experience has also pushed me to learn more and .

Although my tours do go into most of the common cultural features that the city is known for, whether the creation of Harry Potter or Greyfriars’ Bobby, I ensure that any group I lead gets the real historical background. No gimmicks, no hyperbole, but an authentic walking tour!

I live in the city centre of Edinburgh and can meet you at centrally located hotels or at a convenient landmark.
