Alicia’s main areas of interest are the central valley (Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling and Fife), where most of the industries were concentrated from medieval times to the cXIX; the Borders, an area of rolling hills and stunning ecclesiastical ruins and the islands. Alicia had a fascination for the Scottish islands, particularly Skye, where its scenery, a legacy of a geological past, has become a pilgrimage site for all interested in the subject.
She is also happy to guide in other parts of Scotland.
Margaret’s main areas of interest are the parts of Scotland where she has lived, Glasgow, Edinburgh and her native Argyll.
Argyll is the cradle of Scotland. From here the nation was formed, and the history of this area has been vital to the history of Scotland for over a thousand years.
Edinburgh is a mediaeval city. Clustering round its castle are buildings with their turrets, spires and towers. Across world famous Princes Street, the elegance of Georgian Edinburgh is a breathtaking contrast.
Forty miles from Edinburgh is Glasgow. From its village origins it rose to become the second most powerful city in the world during the 19th century. Its stunning Victorian architecture is testament to this period in Glasgow’s story. Glasgow’s newly renovated Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery is justifiably the pride of the Glasgow people. The city is not only historical-it is now second only to London as a retail centre.
Margaret’s passion for all three make a tour with her a memory that remains alive.
She is also very happy to offer guided tours in throughout Scotland especially Loch Lomond, the Trossachs, Stirling, the Borders, Fife, and the North West coast.
She is steeped in the Literature of her country and incorporates this into her tours.
Margaret offers walking tours or guiding on coaches.
