Want to walk and explore Edinburgh through the eyes of a local? Now you can, with the Historic Walking Edinburgh Travel Guide:
Regardless of what time of year you’re visiting the Scottish capital, Historic Walking Guides: Edinburgh is the perfect companion to your trip. Written in consultation with local cultural experts and historians, this fantastic guide takes you on a series of walks through the city uncovering the historic sights and attractions you’ll pass along the way.
The guide has several walks, each focused on a particular area or neighbourhood of the city. Some are short and others are longer, but the nice thing is that the walks intersect! Choose one or two walks, or make it a day of walking and soaking up the history of this beautiful city.
What’s Included
The guide walks you through several popular areas of Edinburgh, including:
- Holyrood Park and the Innocent Railway Tunnel
- The Water of Leith, a true local’s favourite
- Old Town, with its winding alleyways and cobblestone streets
- New Town, whose Georgian architecture is timeless in its beauty
- Must-see sightseeing Further Afield
Each walk includes a map and walking direction. In addition to the various walks, the book covers recommended places to eat, drink and sleep in Edinburgh which all have a historic connection or can be found along the walks.
I’ve authored a guide that will take you through all parts of the city, exploring the historic aspects as well as getting some exercise!
What Others Say
“Andy’s guide enables you to explore the real Edinburgh at your own pace. It took me years to discover all these Edinburgh walks, so you can start your Edinburgh trip with detailed insider knowledge.” – Karen Bryan, UK-based Magazine Publisher
“Really lovely little guide to Edinburgh. I enjoy how the walks tell a story and take you through lots of sights and sounds you can easily miss. There’s a healthy balance of the classic sights – e.g. the castle, the royal mile, and the parliament – as well as some more offbeat tips for places not often found in other guides. Our tour of the Water of Leith followed by a pub lunch in Stockbridge, as suggested, was the highlight of our trip.” – A Jones
