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
JAMES
Hi, I am James. What I love about St Andrews, is that I believe the town is akin to a unique whisky or swatch of Harris Tweed. It has within it innumerable strands, patterns, characters and evocative images. I look forward to sharing them with you, in order that St Andrews becomes much more than an Auld Grey Toun on one of our town tours.
IAIN
Hi, I’m Iain! I’m a first year, soon to be second year, Philosophy student at the University of St Andrews. I’ve been coming up to St Andrews since I was born, so I’ll be more than happy to show you around the town I love! See you on a tour soon.
ANNA
Hello, I’m Anna! I’m going into my third year studying International Relations and Philosophy at the University of St Andrews. I’ve absolutely fallen in love with the town, its strange and colourful history, and its many quirky traditions, which I’d love to share with you!
DUGALD
Hi, my name is Dugald. I grew up in and around St Andrews, and I have started a Physics degree at the University here as well. I enjoy playing Scottish folk music on a variety of instruments. St Andrews is one of my favourite places to spend time, from the cliffs to the cathedral, and I can’t wait to show you around!
VERITY
Hi, my name is Verity, and I graduated from the University of St Andrews in June 2022 with a degree in History. I love to share my experiences as a student in St Andrews – or as we call it, ‘the bubble’ – as well as the town’s long and tumultuous history. The cobbled streets can be deceiving, and I can’t wait to show you the quirks, secrets, and stories that St Andrews hides under its surface!
CATE
Hello! I’m Cate. St Andrews is a beautiful, ancient town which has a special place in my heart. It’s where I went to school and spent many wonderful days of my childhood. As a painter and writer there’s much to inspire! Today I live close by and often visit the stunning West Sands beach with my dog Basil. There’s a lot to discover: the Castle, Cathedral, Old Course, the town’s fascinating history, walks and great views. I hope you’ll come and experience this lovely town!
JOHN
Hi there my name is John and after having a holiday home here for some 15 years on my retirement in 2016 I moved permanently, and it’s without doubt one of the best things I have ever done. The town is simply exceptional for its coastal beauty, being the home of golf, its University life and the intriguing part it played in Scottish history , and I now get to walk and talk about it to the towns many interested visitors.
CICI
Hi, my name is Cici. I was born in the North of Scotland but view St Andrews as my true home. I feel very privileged to live and work in St Andrews passing on my knowledge and appreciation for this beautiful, medieval, and Royal town. I look forward to welcoming you here soon for an enjoyable and fun walking tour!
CAROL
Hello! I’m Carol and I feel very lucky to live in the beautiful town of St Andrews. I love everything to do with history and golf and there is always something new to learn! I hope to see you on a tour soon and I look forward to showing you around St Andrews.
RICHARD
Hi, I’m Richard. My connection with St Andrews goes back to my 4 years here at University in the late 80’s. After University I worked around the UK and in Arizona for 17 years. However, over those 30 years I returned to St Andrews at least once a year to spend time in this special place. My retirement has brought me back to St Andrews and I look forward to sharing some of the magical history of The Old Course and my own deep connection with this town and the golf that is at its heart.
TRICIA
Growing up, St Andrews was my playground. From the age of four, I went to school here, spending summers on the West Sands. It’s part of who I am. Steeped in history – and in memories – life brought me back in 2019. Now, spending my days writing (almost finished my first book) – and walking on the beach – it’s time for some balance; time to impart my love of the town, my knowledge and, inevitably, some anecdotes.!
JUDITH
Hi – I’m Judith and I have lived in and around St Andrews for the last 10 years. I have a passion for history and for art, and particularly love the character and wealth of history that can be found in this small but beautiful old town. I’m still exploring, and hope to share some of my discoveries with you!
