Invisible Cities Guided Walking Tour of Edinburgh for Two

£24

About the experience

Delve into the rich history of Edinburgh with a guided walking tour for two from Invisible Cities. This social enterprise company trains residents of the city who are homeless to become talented tour guides. Join Angus on a tour of the Royal Mile or uncover slightly more sinister stories of crimes, prison sentences and hangings with Sonny. Angus will guide you to the foot of Edinburgh Castle Esplanade towards the Tron Kirk. Discover the developments that have taken place along the Royal Mile, from timbered buildings to the intricate street it is today. Explore famous closes and learn how, over time, the area has been a witness to Scotland’s history since the Middle Ages. Alternatively, you can choose to delve into the shadows of the past, beginning with Maggie Dickson, who in the 18th Century survived a public execution. Learn about the social enterprises and marvel at historic landmarks. Prepare to see a different side to Edinburgh.
