Hello! My name is Amber and I look forward to sharing my passion of my city, Glasgow with you. I am a proud Glaswegian and was born and grew up here, only leaving to do my undergraduate degree in Social Work at the University of Edinburgh for 4 years. After I finished University, I went travelling which is of course one of my biggest passions in life. I later invited a friend I had made abroad to come stay with me so I could show her around Scotland. It was then this friend said to me 'well Amber, if you love working with people, you love travelling and you clearly have a real love for showing people around where you come from, why don't you combine all your interests and become a tour guide?' This was a real eureka moment for me and so from that moment on I have been working as a tour guide showing travelers around Scotland and have been loving every moment of it! I have particular interests in Glasgow's history, particularly it's social history and the lives of the people who lived here over the centuries- after all our city's slogan isn't 'People Make Glasgow' for nothing, along with the city's culture, architecture and thriving music and art scene. In my free time you can find me foraging, wild swimming or listening to Scottish folk music at a local bar. What I would like to emphasise is my private tours are all about customising the tour to you and your interests, this is YOUR tour and I want to make it the best experience for you. If you have something you would particularly like to see, or just a vague idea of the kind of tour you would like to experience, get in touch and we will work together to come up with an itinerary that works for you. I very much look forward to meeting you! I have a BA (Honours) degree in Social Work from the University of Edinburgh. I am not a driver. However, I am more than happy to accompany you in your vehicle.

Come explore Scotland's biggest city with me on a half day walking tour! Join me as to discover the history, architecture and culture of Glasgow's city centre from past to present. A city often referred to as being the cultural centre of Scotland, and for good reason! Find out why Glasgow was once known as the second city of the British empire, discover Glasgow's hidden past and of course what makes it so special, which is the people who have lived here from the past to the present. Glasgow is renowned for having some of the friendliest people, being voted the friendliest city in Europe numerous times, inspiring our city's slogan: 'people make Glasgow'. This is one that I think reflects the city well, and as a proud Glaswegian myself I look forward to sharing the wonders of a place I am so proud of with you!
