Hi I’m Justin and I’ve been a tour guide in Edinburgh for over 15 years. I love my job, one thing I do on my tours is strive to create an open and transparent experience with everyone, although I’ve done tours a long time and have researched a considerable amount I can sometimes be met with a question I don’t know the answer to (although it doesn’t happen a lot) and in those instances I’ll be honest with you and tell you as much. My areas of expertise are Mary Queen of Scots, the Jacobite rebellions, the Georgian period and the Victorian period. My work in the history community in Edinburgh led the Edinburgh Evening News to describe me in 2015 as a “leading figure” in Scottish tourism. Along with running tours I am a collector historical blades and a collector of war relics from the 20th century from around the world. I consume any MCU content and visited the set on a number of nights when infinity war shot in Edinburgh.
Get hands on with history. It’s one thing to hear stories or see history behind glass cases in museums but it’s another thing to hold it in your hands. In this tour authenticity is everything, I was born and grew up on the very streets I’ll show you and I’ll be dressed in full traditional Scottish gear complete with all the weaponry. With over 15 years of experience as a tour guide in Edinburgh I can answer your questions, recommend things to do, places to eat and all the best bars in the city.
This tour is funny, filled with all the foul language you’d expect from a Scotsman and told with a sincere passion and love for the city you’re in. See the Scottish capital through the eyes of someone who’s lived and loves it.
Kilt, swords, shield, fur and a big black umbrella that says “Free Tour”.
Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
