OUR GUIDES

WALKING TOURS IN INVERNESS

ABOUT US

LOCAL GUIDES | LOCAL EXPERIENCES

Hi we’re Liv and Jenny, we founded this small business in 2017, because we understand how important it is to meet and spend time with a local when you visit a new place. We initially took the tours ourself, before expanding into a group of guides, each who bring their own spin to the tours.

In each place, all of our guides are guides because they are passionate about the city and they want to share its beauty with you! Our guides come from all walks of life, and all have their own unique experiences of their hometown, which is what makes every tour unique. We hope to see you on one of our tours soon.

We don’t just offer your standard history tours, we have unique experiences too! You can book any day from now until the end of 2026.

MEET OUR TEAM

SIMON

Hello, my name is Simon and I have lived in the Highlands for over 20 years. I have a passion for Inverness with its rich, diverse culture and history through the ages. Currently studying with the University of the Highlands and Islands, I am very much looking forward to meeting you and introducing some of the cities best, most varied stories.

CHRISTINE

My name is Christine and although I hail from the English Midlands I have lived in and around Inverness for the last 35 years and so consider myself a honorary local. I just love this part of the world with its magnificent countryside and fascinating culture, which together give us some wonderful stories to tell you. When I’m not walking around Inverness I enjoy riding my horse, walking my dog or engaging in mind games with my two cats. I also do a bit of AmDram when the opportunity arises. I look forward to meeting you and showing you a little of our wonderful city.

SARAH

Hi, I am Sarah and I have been part of the Highlands for almost 30 years. More importantly, the Highlands have become part of who I am. After a number of years of working overseas, it is a delight to share the incredible Highlands with visitors to the area.

STEVE

Hi, My name is Steve, I am a retired adult educator. My background academically is in British literature but my private passion is Scottish History. Originally from Liverpool, I have traveled widely for work but eventually settled with my then-newish second wife in Inverness
25 years ago. A quarter century is a fantastic amount of time to learn about an area’s history, folklore, and
tales. As a trained storyteller, I look forward to sharing my city with you.

ROSY

Hello 👋 I’m Rosy, one of the WTI team members! I’ve lived in Inverness on and off since 2017. I was becoming a bit of a human boomerang and decided to move up from London in 2021. My main profession is being a Paediatrician here locally at the Raigmore Hospital. I also work in many towns in England and hope to do global roles too. I’m keen to explore new places and love walking tours! We love your feedback. I hope you enjoy our tours and come again after your first trip! See you soon!

DOUG

Hi, I’m Doug and I was born and raised in the bonny Highlands. A graduate of UHI, I am an archaeologist and historian, but my passions run to folklore, music and climbing mountains. In a previous life, I was a fairly successful chef. I am sure I can recommend a good place to eat. Or drink – Slainte!

KAREN

Hello, I’m Karen and I grew up in Inverness. After several years living away for study and work, I moved back to my hometown and feel it offers the best of both worlds: a good selection of cafes and pubs to enjoy with friends plus nature aplenty right on our doorstep. I look forward to giving you a blasad (taste) of life here. When I’m not doing walking tours, I am usually found teaching young people Gaelic language and music, playing the small pipes in music sessions or enjoying the fresh air.
