About


Tartan Compass provides professional private guiding in Edinburgh and across Scotland. Led by Edinburgh-based guide Ross McDowell, each guided day is shaped around the people travelling, with time to understand the places, stories and landscapes encountered along the way.

In Edinburgh, a day might explore the Old Town and Canongate, Calton Hill, the New Town, gardens and neighbourhoods, combining Scottish history with the life of the city today. Beyond the centre, guiding can extend into the Pentland Hills, East Lothian and other parts of Scotland, depending on interests, pace and the time available.

The emphasis is on informed, adaptable guiding rather than a fixed tour catalogue. History, landscape, culture and everyday Scottish life are brought together through conversation, questions and local knowledge, helping guests understand Scotland rather than simply move between sights.
