Originally from Stirling, I moved to Edinburgh in the late 70’s to study Hotel Management, and I have worked mostly in Glasgow and Edinburgh in Hotel catering ever since. I started our food tours in 2011, and the Edinburgh food tours started to take off almost immediately.

After a holiday in 2009 in Seattle, USA, where I enjoyed my first food tour, I came back enthusing how Edinburgh would be a great place for a similar tour. As I was happy in my job, I gave it no further thought. But in 2011 I was laid off from my work after 20 years service. I decided to make the most of this opportunity and set up an Edinburgh food tours.
