OUR RANGE OF EDINBURGH HISTORY TOURS
DISCOVER HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF SCOTLAND’S HISTORY
Perfect for anyone who wants
to see the Old Town and learn
about an often-forgotten
period in our history.
This Edinburgh tour is ideal for
anyone who wants to discover
Scottish history and wants a
‘walk’ with a smaller amount of
walking.
“If this is your first time in
Edinburgh (actually even if it’s not),
Robert’s talk is a brilliant way to
start. He is a fantastic speaker,
storyteller and personality. He
delves back and forth in time, using
great illustrations and photographs
from his folder, and really makes
the city come alive...
…He was beautifully dressed in
Scottish regalia, which made the
event even more special. If I could
have, I would have hired him for the
day to cover more of the city.
One of the best walking tours I’ve
ever taken; a really unforgettable
experience.”
