Hi, I'm Richard. I am a local historian and author with 6 published books about St Andrews, and I have been conducting award-winning guided walking tours of St Andrews since 2014. During that time I have taken over 50,000 people on tours and I always give as much passion and enthusiasm for 2 people as I do for large groups. The most important people in St Andrews are those on my tours which is why every tour is unique, so I look forward to sharing with you all the highlights of what St Andrews has to offer.
