About the host
Hosted by Grant
My wife and I are both doctors, working in Edinburgh.
We both enjoy the great outdoors: hill running, cycling, and encouraging our children to spend as much time as possible free playing outside.
We have been hosting for over 7 years, and really enjoy getting to know our guests and sharing our local knowledge to enhance their stay.
