Since moving to Edinburgh in 1988 from Germany, via South Africa and Switzerland, I am continually struck by the awesome beauty of this European Capital, by the visible history, the living culture and the juxtaposition of nature and city. I have been guiding individuals and groups through Edinburgh, Scotland and the rest of the UK since 1994 and just love imparting knowledge, local anecdotes, introducing guests to the history and the daily life of this mesmerising country and city. Come and join me on one of my walks and prepare to be enchanted, entertained and educated. If you have any particular requirements or interests, I would love to hear from you and could then tailor a tour exactly to your requirements/interests. As a mother of six, I am particularly suited to adapt the program towards children/teenagers and have experience in bringing history alive for them. I very much look forward to meeting you and showing you around! 29yrs of experience of guiding individuals and groups for shorter or longer holidays, including cruise passengers.

Overview of your Edinburgh tour

The Borders Region lies south of Edinburgh and is particularly rich in history and full of visual beauty at every time of the year. Upon leaving Edinburgh, we drive to Melrose to see where the embalmed heart of Robert the Bruce rests in the historic ruins of Melrose Abbey. We then head via Innerleithen to Peebles. The final stop will be the beautiful Rosslyn Chapel (remember the " Da Vinci code" ?) before heading back to Edinburgh.
