Hi, my name is Lesley and it is a pleasure to meet you. I am deeply passionate about Scotland and all things Scottish and I am very proud and privileged to be able to share my beautiful country with visitors from all over the world. I have been working as a tour guide since early 2017 having previously worked as a Police Officer, a job that took me across the lengths and breadths of the country and afforded me the opportunity to learn so much along the way. I am a keen amateur photographer and never tire of photographing this wee country that I live in. There are so many wonderful, wild and mysterious places in Scotland and I would love to be able to share them with you. From the castles and architecture in our ancient cities to the vast expanse of wilderness in our hills and glens, there really is so much to see and explore all with their own myths and folklore. It would be my honor to show you the sights of this amazing wee country, and leave you with memories that will last a lifetime, with lots of fun and laughs along the way. I am a retired Scottish Police Officer and have been a guide since 2017. SITOA Member (Scottish Independent Tour Operators Association) Please note; I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of historical monuments. I can, however, accompany you inside and provide a brief overview.

We start your adventure at Stirling Castle, one of Scotland's grandest landmarks! Explore the Royal Palace and Great Hall, hear takes of Scotlands Kings and Queens and marvel at the stunning views over the town and the nearby Wallace Monument. It's a mix of history and jaw-dropping scenery! Next, we head to the Kelpies—two colossal horse-head sculptures that rise 30 meters into the sky! These majestic statues represent both Scotlands industrial heritage and the mythical water spirits of Scottish folklore. Take a stroll around the site, snap a few photos, and soak in the striking art. We end the day at the Falkirk Wheel, an engineering wonder that lifts boats between two canals. Watch as the massive wheel spins, lifting boats 35 meters—it's an impressive sight! You will also enjoy a boat ride to experience the magic up close. A day packed with history, engineering, and sculpture – all in the heart of Scotland!
