Meet the Scotsman
I’M STEVEN
Scotsman Travels started with a curiosity about the places people walk past. I explore them, tell their stories and share the feeling of finding something unexpected in Scotland.
Before this, I spent nearly a decade managing hotels and restaurants. That experience now shapes my work with heritage, travel and hospitality businesses, alongside local research and support for film productions.
