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.

I will collect you from the cruise port or hotel and from there we will travel to the magnificent Stirling Castle. On arrival, you will be free to roam and take in your surroundings. I will be available to show you the way, or you can pick up the official tour of the castle. Next, we will make our way through the Trossachs to the outskirts of the town of Callander to meet my favorite characters, the lovable hairy Highland Coos, Hamish Dhu, Honey, and Baxter (who are always happy to pose for a photo in return for a carrot or two). There is also an opportunity for you to pick up some souvenirs at the Woolen Mill shop if you choose. Next, it is off through the Scottish Countryside to a traditional Scottish pub where we will stop for a bite to eat.
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Lesley! She was very personable, knowledgeable, and organized. We had a great tour of Stirling Castle. Lesley stayed with us so we had our own expert while touring the castle. We loved the local pub that we visited for lunch. The hairy cows were awesome too! Finally I loved the snacks and water she provided. It was a nice touch. I would highly recommend her.
Lesley was a delight. She had her work cut out for her being that my husband had mobility issues and needed extra assitance. She didn’t seem bothered and jumped right in to help navigate the obstacles we had pushing a wheelchair on the uneven cobblestone. Would highly recommend her and will use her again if we return.
Excellent Tour ! Lesley gave us a knowledge packed and enthusiastic tour of Sterling Castle, Highland cows and the Lion and Unicorn Pub. We had a great time, and highly recommend her.
We had an amazing day touring with Lesley. She was knowledgeable and engaging. I would highly recommend Lesley to anyone looking for a private tour of this beautiful area.
We had a great time with Lesley. She really knew her history especially of Stirling Castle. She took us to a charming local pub for lunch which was exactly what you would expect and it was delicious. She definitely knows the lay of the land and is an excellent driver. Definitely recommend the tour.
This was a really great tour and Lesley is a terrific host and guide. There were 7 of us in an extended family on a British Isle cruise. We wanted to see Stirling Castle and the highlands instead of visiting Glasgow. Beautiful! Strikingly beautiful. We chatted with Leslie throughout the entire car ride. She took us through Stirling Castle. We had a delightful lunch and then saw some beautiful highland scenery. I really recommend Leslie.
