My name is Kat and I am Scottish tour guide and travel writer. I have lived and shown guests around beautiful Edinburgh for over ten years. Through my career I have personally tried and tested the best places to visit in the city. I hail from the Scottish highlands, in particular the Speyside area - the home of Scottish whisky. I grew up in a distillery town and have a local's perspective of what to see in the North east of Scotland. I want to prepare personalised and tailor-made itineraries for your trip to magical Scotland. As a small business owner I like to promote and recommend local and hidden gems. Through my tours and experience I have a passion for Scottish history, and like to share the best castles and historical places to visit. My degree in tourism and through my own research I have developed a skill set in order to create the best of what makes Scotland so special. I have extensive knowledge on Scottish film tourism, in particular Harry Potter and Outlander, I can create the ultimate guide for you to explore these magical locations in real life! I can also plan a guide that takes you through the dark history of Scotland - I have a keen interest in Scottish witchcraft history, graveyards and haunted castles. Through my tour company - Travel Kat Tours which I started in 2018 I have extensive experience in the Scottish tourism industry. Contact me if you want to begin your trip to bonnie Scotland.

ABOUT
Hi, I'm Kat a female business owner in Edinburgh, Scotland. I run small group and private walking tours. I specialise in Scottish history, film tourism (Harry Potter and Outlander) and the dark side of the witchcraft hunts in Edinburgh. I reside in one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the UK - Leith. Which is famed for it's indie shops, coffee and street art. When I am not guiding around bonnie Scotland I like to travel. I have been lucky enough to travel to over 55 different countries. Usually now with my husband, but on occasion, but have been partial to a solo adventure also. I enjoy exploring bustling cities, enjoying the local food and finding unique places to eat. As a small business owner, I like to find independent places to try out. To me travel is the best education you can give yourself. When I am exploring a new destination I will delve it to the culture and history of that location, and I like to find off the beaten track sights. It is hard to define my favourite country, as I feel many places are special to me. As a keen photographer, the vivid colours of India was incredible. Alongside the vast landscapes of Iceland, where last year (2023) I was fortunate enough to elope there. My guides will be varied, my Scottish guides will be through the lens of a local. I have experience in the industry in creating Scottish itineraries and like to prepare personalised and tailor made plans.
