'My life as I built it was just completely gone in the middle of a pandemic'
TO mark International Women’s Day, inspirational single mum Ashleigh Wilson is hosting a city centre walking tour dedicated to the city’s trailblazers.
Before she could realise her goal and “in the midst of the world falling apart” in 2020, Ashleigh’s marriage ended, leaving her and her infant children homeless.“So I was homeless with a one-year-old, and a six-month-old, and just completely at a loss. The 33-year-old ended up staying with her “stalwart” mum as she tried to build her life back up, deciding to take the plunge and launch her walking tour company, Turadh Tours.“I want to be able to mean it when I tell my kids that they can do anything they set their mind to.“And it's been amazing. It's so exciting when I wake up each day and I put on my little tour t-shirt and go out to do a job that I love, that I've created on my own, in the middle of all of this difficulty.
“These women are so inspiring. I come from a long line of working-class Glaswegian women and I see so much of my mum, my aunties and my granny and all of these women.
