Uncover one of Europe’s most beautiful cities.
Scheduled walking tours for anyone interested in Edinburgh's history:
from first-time visitors to long-term residents.
My scheduled walking tours give you the opportunity to experience Edinburgh and it's history from a different perspective.
There's no costumed theatrics or sensationalist stories because for me, Edinburgh's history doesn't need any dressing up!
What I offer is simple.
Friendly, relaxed and research-based walking tours that look at the "how's and why's" of the city's past through its industrial heritage, social history, urban design and cultural identity.
