We are very excited to launch our tours in the Scottish Borders in 2025. Thanks to the support of The Scottish Borders Council we started training in Galashiels. Though it is taking us a bit longer to launch our first tour, we can’t wait for you to experience the Scottish Borders in a unique way!
Recruitment and training is starting in February 2024 so stay tuned.
