These tours reveal how Glasgow connects to both Scotland’s past and the world of the novels and TV series. Get in touch for a personal

I offer historically informed tours across Scotland, drawing on my ample experience guiding visitors through a wide range of locations. Whether you’re a single traveller or part of a larger group, I am happy to create personalised itineraries that bring Scotland’s history to life. My tours are rooted in the serious historical research I do as a professional historian, ensuring that every story is accurate, engaging and memorable.
Over the years I have welcomed guests from many different nationalities and I can guide in both English and German. I’m flexible with times and happy to join any hired bus or private car tour. Please note that I don’t drive—I provide guiding only.
If you would like to explore Scotland with me, please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss a tailor-made tour.
Here’s what other guests have had to say over the years:
Alex was a FANTASTIC tour guide: so knowledgeable, so personable, so fun! This was the best tour I’ve ever had! It was raining the whole time, and we didn’t even think about it because the information was fascinating and thorough.
