About Tour Guide Neil S.

I am a Blue Badge Guide, qualified with the Scottish Tourist Guides Association to guide throughout Scotland.

After thirty four years working for a large Scottish law firm and a further four in the wilderness I think I’ve finally found my calling… an opportunity to show visitors my country while telling stories, sometimes tall, while hopefully being educational and entertaining.

I was born and brought up in Edinburgh and have lived in Scotland all my life with the exception of a three year period when I went East to experience another culture. I am of course biased towards what Edinburgh has to offer (it is the greatest city in the world) but acknowledge the depth of history and attraction of our other cities and of course the beauty of our islands, countryside and waterways.

I have worked semi-professionally as a photographer and am familiar with the areas around Scotland where the scenery will bring out the best in your art.

I am also very much interested in our national drink (not Irn Bru) and can guide you around the areas where our many distilleries are situated.

There’s a lot to see and do in Scotland, I’d be happy to be part of your experience.

I am a driver guide with a vehicle which can seat 7 passengers and with a long wheel base to take all of your luggage and shopping!
