I moved to Lewis in 1978, and, making my home here, I have delighted in sharing the wonderful landscape, its ancient historical sites and its rich culture with many visitors from around the world. Retiring from teaching in 2010, I have studied its history in greater depth and trained as a tour guide, with professional experience since that time and as an accredited STGA Green Badge Guide since 2019 (Scottish Tour Guide Association)
I welcome opportunities to give visitors an insight into the special place where I live and share experiences with them. I am able to do tours in French as well as English. Please contact me to arrange personalised tours in the Outer Hebrides.

“We spent an afternoon with Jan, visiting three of the key tourist sites on Lewis. Jan is very good company, she knows her stuff, takes time to explain it. It's not an in-and-out script; what you get is a conversation and dialogue. You also tap into her knowledge, and where we can only speculate she makes that clear.”
“I would thoroughly recommend a tour by Gold Lewis & Harris tours. The tour we had with Jan Gold was personalised to suit our interests and we were very impressed with her knowledge about all aspects of the islands, which was presented in an informative and very entertaining way.”
