Hey there, I'm Colin - your friendly local host in Edinburgh! I'm a curious and easygoing guy who loves to explore new places and meet new people. What I really adore about Edinburgh is its rich history and stunning architecture, as well as its gorgeous natural surroundings - I could spend hours wandering through the parks and hills! When I'm not out and about, I enjoy sipping on some delicious whisky and discovering hidden gems throughout the city. As an expert in the West side and Central Edinburgh neighborhoods, I love sharing my knowledge of the area, especially when it comes to the fascinating history of the upper water of Leith and the best parks and outdoor spots to check out. Let's explore Edinburgh together!

Colin is an amazing guide of Edinburgh! Cant recommend him enough. He is informative, funny, engaging and knowledgeable. He kept our 15 year old son entertained throughout a 4 hour walking tour of the city. That should be your sign to book this tour now!

Colin was exactly what our adventures needed. We meshed right in with the Edinburgh culture and we had a grand time! My mom sometimes needs a wheelchair because she can get a bit winded and he made all of it so easy for us. I highly recommend him if you enjoy stories and culture and knowledge and history, he is your man. Plus he showed up and kilt and made my day!!!
