Edinburgh born and bred although well traveled. I’m biased but I believe Edinburgh is the best city in the world.

Description
Edinburgh’s Old town has an amazing unrivalled history. In my tour I want to show you the following:
- The Old town in all its glory
- The links to the New Town
- The Religion and Monarchy that shaped the history.
- The crime and punishment dating back centuries.
- What influenced the writers, Rober Louis Stevenson, Sir Walter Scott and how they shaped Edinburgh.
- Greyfriars Bobby And the churchyard.
- Harry Potter influences
- The Grassmarket
Linking all together the flow of the history and characters brings together a story that, I hope will take you back in time and visualise stories that make all the other tourists around fade in to the background.
