Greetings from Scotland! I live in between Edinburgh and St Andrews and I don't mean in the middle of the North Sea. I am just fortunate to have bases in these two beautiful cities. Born in Edinburgh where I worked most of my life, I attended the University of St Andrews and even managed to scrape into the University golf team. I have now laid down roots there, as a golf caddie, journalist and becoming a tour guide. I had a restaurant in Edinburgh and am a bit of a foodie. This is a high priority on my tours. At least to point you in the direction of the best bars and restaurants. So I consider myself to be an Edinburgher and a St Andrean too. I am very lucky. I have rather eclectic interests and my party-piece is reciting Robert Burns's epic poem Tam O'Shanter which I can do for you over a wee dram ! On me ! I would love to show you around this wonderful part of Scotland and all that it has to offer. Its marvellous architecture, breathtaking scenery, cobbled wynds and cosy bars, characters and cathedrals and castles. But let's be sure to have fun. Twenty years of experience of working in hospitality has taught me to have that as the cornerstone of my tours. I have been a ski guide in the Alps, a golf instructor in Spain, a florist, a restaurateur, a golf writer (check out the kilted caddie blog!) and a somewhat caddie on the St Andrews Links. But now I have found my real forte. It's in entertaining people and showing them the places that I really know and love. So now, I look forward to meeting you all too. I hope! Please note that I am not a driver. I undertake walking tours only. Thanks and looking forward to meeting you in Scotland!

Overview of your St Andrews tour

The wow factor wee tour of all that St Andrews has to offer from this discerning foodie, local caddie and ex-University golf team player. Let me first and foremost take you to some interesting food and drink stops, starting with a tipple on the amazing new Rusacks Hotel balcony, with its incredible views of the 18th fairway of the Old Course, the West Sands and St Andrews Bay. Thereafter we will have three further stops letting you sample the best locally caught haggis, a fabulous fish supper and outstanding cheese and whisky to finish. If desired, some Burns poetry recitation as I performed in the Tam O'Shanter World Championship Competition. The idea is that between food stops I show you the major sites of this spectacular town, from the world famous Old Course to the 15th century St Salvator's at the heart of the ancient university, to the historic Cathedral ruins and share a few anecdotes about this wonderful and very special place. The tour usually starts at 12 noon but other times can be arrang
