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.

Overview of your Glasgow tour
Walk and ride the third oldest underground railway in the world (what we locals like to call the 'clockwork orange' -you'll see why-) across the city with me. Discover Scotland's biggest city, full of facinating stories from it's beginnings in medieval times, through the controversial figures of the Victorian era, the importance of the industrial era and of course all the way to what life is like here in the modern day. This is the perfect introduction to Glasgow as we'll take in all the highlights of the city from a local's perspective in just a day! Starting off our day where the Glasgow was founded (at Glasgow Cathedral) we'll venture through the city centre taking in the sights, history and architecture. We will then have lunch in Glasgow's Mackintosh at the Willow tearooms and hear about Scotland's most famous architect, before taking the subway to the leafy West End, to discover the city's best museum and find out what is attracting so many people to want to live in this area of the Glasgow.
