MEET THE GUIDES

In 2011, I discovered something amazing. Something enchanting, windswept, wild … and wonderful. It is called Scotland. And now, after being a nurse for the past 15 years in the UK (after emigrating from China), and for 10 years here in Edinburgh, I have realised that sharing my passion for this incredible country is my top goal in life.

So, whatever your reason, come. Come and explore the history. Delve into the towns. Discover the locals, legends, and big wide, open geography that this ancient country can throw at your feet. Braveheart used a horse. But we will let you also use a car, coach or even your own Shanks’s pony.

Want more info? Please get in touch. The gate is open, wide open. We are here, waiting for you, waiting to share our secrets.

I am an accredited Blue Badge Guide of the Scottish Tourist Guides Association (www.stga.co.uk), an organisation supporting professional tourist guides who strive to inspire, educate, and entertain.

尊敬的客人,歡迎訪問多面蘇格蘭持牌導遊網站,請先接受我衷心的問候。

我叫陳冬梅,來自河北省,曾在中國做醫院臨床護士。2005年到英格兰,2011年移居蘇格蘭愛丁堡,從事社區護理。我的工作使我接觸了各行各業各個層面的本地人,幫助我深刻理解和融入英國的生活,如今愛丁堡就是我的家。我個人愛好旅行和戶外徒步活動,喜欢结识有趣的人。

2016年開始接觸導遊行業,非常喜歡。為了做個好導遊,我參加了蘇格蘭導遊協會(STGA)舉辦的為期18個月的強化課程,並與2020年初順利獲得了藍牌資格並成為協會的會員。我和一些有共同語言的會員一起組建了這個網站,希望能為客人提供一個可信賴的服務和信息平台。

我講流利的英文和中文普通話,可以為您提供徒步導遊或包車遊覽; 商務陪伴或私人度假; 家庭小團體或旅行社純導。也可以幫您規劃行程和推薦酒店等。蘇格蘭是一個很有魅力、很有風格和處處有驚喜的地方。新冠疫情使我們更多地意識到作為導遊的責任。我會盡最大的努力使您的來訪安全和滿意,給您留下美好的回憶。

非常期待您的到來!

We took a half day tour of Edinburgh with May. She was excellent in all respects. She was very knowledgeable, flexible to adjust to our needs and interests, and a very good communicator (although English was not her first language). Moreover, she was very good company making it all a very pleasant and relaxed outing rather than a “canned tour”. We recommend her highly.

WHAT MAKES ME SPECIAL

I am a lover of the outdoors. It gives me great pleasure to share my ‘secret’ viewpoints with guests and to take beautiful pictures.

tour with me because

I’m excited about showing you round Scotland, on foot and/or by car. Let us witness her charm unfurled at every corner we turn.

WHAT I’M LIKE

Some guests say that they have been infected by my happy outlook. I would say honestly that I am happy whenever I meet my guests who never fail to inspire me.

FAVOURITE SCOTTISH FOOD

This has to be Cullen Skink (or fish soup) with freshly baked bread. West coast seafood is second to none.

AN OBSCURE FACT

I prefer winter to summer.

FAVOURITE SCOTTISH SONG

Bonnie Banks o’ Loch Lomond is my favourite Scottish song and I can sing …. badly!

FAVOURITE PLACE

My favourite place is the Isle of Skye. I find there everything I like about Scotland: breathtaking scenery, nice walks of all levels, unique local food, and the best of all, Scottish hospitality!
