Get to Know Us
Thistleborn Tours is defined by name: a tour company conceived in Scotland to share the real personal experiences, cultures and joys of a country like no other.
Our Story
Thistleborn Tours was founded by two female historians with a shared passion for bringing Scotland’s rich heritage and culture to life. Combining their local insight and expert knowledge, they have set out to showcase the very best that their country has to offer.
With history, culture and heritage at its core, Thistleborn Tours has grown out of a love for Scotland and all it has to offer. Whether you're a worldly visitor or a curious local, our tours invite you to explore Scotland’s stories - all without breaking the bank!
Who We Are
When you join a Thistleborn tour, you’ll be guided by Amy or Katie, the women behind the company.
Both are historians from Glasgow, and each bring their own expertise, personality and perspective to the experience. Their shared enthusiasm for Scotland is matched by their warmth and humour, ensuring that every tour is as welcoming as it is informative. With Amy and Katie, you’re not just learning about Scotland—you’re exploring it with locals who truly love their city.
Our Mission
At Thistleborn Tours we promise to deliver high quality and inspiring experiences that showcase the real, and very best, of Scotland.
We welcome everyone with open arms, whether you are travelling solo, with family, or as part of a group. We are proud to create tours that are inclusive, respectful, and welcoming to people of all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life - everyone is invited to explore Scotland's friendliest city with us.
Join us on a Thistleborn Tour to enjoy an informative, entertaining and welcoming tour that you will never forget.
