Art Walking Tour in Georgian Edinburgh

Art Walking Tour in Georgian Edinburgh

This walking tour was written with the idea that it would uncover some of Edinburgh's lesser known characters who have achieved things but have been ignored in other tours in the city.

The tour is also an Arts tour which is something that isn't catered for particularly well in Edinburgh. It covers music, literature, theatre, sculpture, dance halls and painting as well as trying to offer some general Edinburgh history too.
