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. References available on request. Clean UK driver's licence. Aquila accredited Guide.

Discover the hidden Gems of Perthshire, Glen Lyon and the River Tay
Overview of your Edinburgh tour
A full day tour of Perthshire, Glen Lyon and Strathtay with a driver guide who knows and loves the area. We will see a 16th century chapel of outstanding beauty, the medieval chapel of St Mary's at Grandtully, pass by Castle Menzies, visit one of the oldest yew trees in Europe (under which Pontius Pilate is supposed to have been born), ancient stone circles, beautiful glens and prehistoric settlements all in the most amazing scenery. Taking a short hike deep in Glen Lyon, we discover the Praying Hands of Mary, an erratic stone left over from the last Ice Age. We then head for Loch Tay and the 4000 year old standing stones at Croft Moraig. We will drive back over the mountains across the most stunning moorland to return to your base with lots of lovely memories
