Friday, 25 Mar 2011 09:00:00 GMT

Rosalind Newlands has been a tourist guide since 1983, and she has no plans of stopping anytime soon.

A Scottish Crown Princess

Sunday, 26 Jun 2011 09:00:00 GMT

Summer may be well upon us, although the weather may not, and with June, July and August, come the Cruise ships, calling in to various ports across Scotland. The National Study into Cruise Tourism Development in Scotland, commissioned by CruiseScotland last year forecast a steady growth in this field of tourism, and this projection seemed to be borne out on 22 June, when 40 coaches met The Crown Princess at Greenock Ocean Terminal. The bulk of the STGA Glasgow membership (60%) turned out to man tours up and down the west coast. Guided excursions included Glasgow city tours and Edinburgh city tours.

Ambassadors for Scotland

Thursday, 10 Nov 2011 09:00:00 GMT

Being a great tourist guide involves much more than showing Scotland’s visitors around our stunning scenery and interpreting our past history. STGA Blue and Green Badge guides are passionate ambassadors for Scotland wherever they go, whether it is to England, America or Austrailia or simply on the streets of a Scottish village.

Such is the case for Edinburgh Blue Badge Guide, Ronnie Berri, who has recently returned from Berlin, Germany, after representing our Government’s Aviation team at the 17th World Route Development Forum.

New Scottish Tourist Guides graduate in style!

Tuesday, 27 Nov 2012 09:00:00 GMT

Neil Oliver, Honorary President of the Scottish Tourist Guides Association (STGA) was guest of honour at the 2012 Graduation Ceremony, held at the Scotch Whisky Experience in Edinburgh on 14th November 2012.

Welcomed to the industry by Scottish Tourism Alliance’s Chair, Stephen Leckie, 21 new Blue Badge graduates proudly received their diplomas, as they begin work in this booming sector after 2 years of world-class study at the University of Edinburgh.

Besides English, the latest graduates speak a range of languages – French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Hungarian and Spanish. Using their skills, interests and talent for communication, STGA accredited guides cover Scotland, welcoming visitors from near and far, younger or older, who come for business or leisure.

This is a career for dynamic, entrepreneurial ambassadors for Scotland from all over the world, especially if they speak 2 (or more) languages! No two days are the same for an STGA accredited guide: a helicopter tour of the highlands, a cruise liner trip round the coasts, accompanying AC Milan in Scotland for the Champions League or helping a family find its long-lost ancestral roots... As self-employed professionals, being a guide combines a varied clientele with an ever-changing backdrop of city, town and countryside – not your average 9-5 job!

The STGA membership organisation represents its members within the Scottish tourism industry and works to raise the profile of guiding on the world stage. The latest recruits join the STGA’s already 450 strong membership and are proud to be part of an increasingly vital part of the Scottish economy. For details on becoming a guide contact info@stga.co.uk.

Rainy Days in Scotland

Thursday, 04 Aug 2011 09:00:00 GMT

When the rain pours in Scotland, as it so frequently does, what is there to do if you’re a tourist stranded in your accommodation?

Glasgow is Champion for Pipers

Wednesday, 10 Aug 2011 09:00:00 GMT

It starts with the deep rumble that shakes the ground beneath you, and the deep base banging out a steady beat, then in unison the drones come together in a crescendo of anticipation, before the skirl of the pipes takes to the sky. If you’ve ever had the benefit of attending a Piping Championship March Past, you’ll know how this musical cacophony will send shivers down your spine.

A Fair Day in Fife

Wednesday, 10 Aug 2011 09:00:00 GMT

St Andrews is best known as the home of golf. With 11 courses of international distinction, visitors with a penchant for a putter and a tee will be easily catered for. Many ‘golf widows’ though may agree with Scottish King James II’s decree, banning golf in 1457 as an unwelcome distraction to learning archery. If you do prefer archery, or perhaps have made the most of the courses so far, St Andrews and the rest of Fife have plenty more to offer.

Do Tourist Guides Know It All?

Wednesday, 16 Nov 2011 09:00:00 GMT

There is a general perception in the tourist industry that tourist guides are pretty knowledgeable. And strictly speaking, that is true. STGA Guides take tours for clients of all different backgrounds, in all areas of Scottish life. Fielding questions for tourists, corporate clients and journalists, and demonstrating a sound repertoire of general and sometimes obscure knowledge is all part of the course in the STGA. But how well would they do if put in front of a camera on a BBC Quiz Show?

STGA Forecast for 2012

Wednesday, 04 Jan 2012 09:00:00 GMT

2012 has certainly blown in with a bang this week, with the wild weather seeing off 2011 and any remaining Hogmanay cobwebs and hangovers. Perhaps it is a sign of what 2012 will have in store for Scotland this year, with lots of drama and dynamic events forecast sure to blow the socks off residents and visitors to our country alike.

Full Steam Ahead to Bo'ness

Thursday, 05 Jan 2012 09:00:00 GMT

So it was 'full steam' ahead to Bo'ness and Kinneil Railway on 15th October 2011.

Unique Insights into Scottish Culture

Tuesday, 03 Jul 2012 09:00:00 GMT

If you’ve picked up a newspaper or visited any news website in the past few days, you will have inevitably encountered the article about the Japanese Tourist Guide book, which warns visitors to stay away from square sausages and Scottish gentleman in blue or green football strips.
