Deborah McVittie is a qualified guide for all of Scotland, offering tours in English, French, and German. Passionate about sharing the rich history and culture of Scotland, she strives to provide a memorable experience for all visitors.

Going to school in Linlithgow, birth place of Mary Queen of Scots, lead to an inevitable interest in this amazing story and in Scottish history in general. Having completed the blue badge course, I am now equally fascinated by and have acquired knowledge of other aspects of Scotland, such as: geology, architecture, wildlife and art. It's all fascinating!

I have spent most of my working life teaching French, German and Spanish, mainly to adults. I love speaking foreign languages and I am passionate about my country. I find it exciting to share my knowledge of Scotland, the country, its people, customs and culture which I have acquired through growing up here and through formal study. To do this in one of my foreign languages enhances the experience for me, although I also enjoy speaking in English to English speaking guests from all over the world.

I love walking and being outdoors in the beautiful Scottish countryside. Edinburgh, where I live, offers beautiful countryside on my doorstep. My other interests are music - I have been learning to play Celtic tunes on the fiddle for about five years. My other passion is drawing and painting, mainly watercolour landscapes and nature. I exhibit in The Macmillan Art Show and in Holyrood Art Club.

I am not a driver guide but have worked with companies like 'Rabbies' and 'Timberbush' who provide mini coaches and drivers and myself as the guide.
