I'm an accredited guide with the Scottish Guides Guides Association, qulaified to guide all over Scotland. Quailfied guides have a Blue Badge, which is the highest accrediation a tourist guide in Scotland can have.
Glasgow is my home town, I've lived here for 20 years but I was born in a town called Ayr, forty miles to the south of Glasgow, For a long time, before I ever moved here, I was always visting to enjoy the culture and nightlife of this great city.
When I finally moved here, it was to work in theatre. For a while I was an actor but then I became a director. Throughout that time, I got to know the history of Glasgow very well.
In more recent years, apart from studying with the Scottish Tourist Guides Association, I've been working in the heritage sector, writing books about the history of some of the districts of Glasgow, talking about Glasgow and encouraging people to explore and discover the history of the city.
Working as a tour guide is great fun. I really enjoy introoducing people to the city and sharing some stories.
When I'm not touring, I'm in the library, researching and discovering more stories to share.
Very informed and entertaining tour. Learnt so much about Glasgow.
Bruce is an excellent guide, giving us lots of information about the deveklopment of the town. We saw many of the murals painted on the buildings andalso included a visit to the cathedral which was very interesting.
Bruce is the man for Glasgow!
