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.
