Gillian Gloyer Author

Gillian Gloyer studied ancient languages at Wadham College, Oxford. After university and a couple of years back in Scotland, she began a professional career overseas, working in Spain, Chile, Belgium and Bosnia before finding herself, slightly by accident, in Albania. From 1998 to 2002, she directed a long-term training programme with young political activists from 12 parties. She is now based in Edinburgh, where she is a city councillor, but she visits Albania several times a year, for both work and pleasure. Since 2012, she has led tour-groups to Albania and other countries for UK-based tour operators.
