Edinburgh Old Town © Hetty's History Walks: Edinburgh Uncovered
An introduction to Edinburgh's history that uncovers how the city grew from its tiny medieval beginnings into the vibrant cultural capital we see today.
At 90 minutes long, this tour is a perfect introduction to Edinburgh's history, a story that goes far deeper than the popular tales of ghosts, grave-robbers and Greyfriars Bobby!
Walk through the back-streets of the Old Town to the top of Calton Hill and discover how trade, industry, royalty, identity, education and landscape have shaped the city since its foundation 900 years ago. Along the way you'll experience over 500 years of Edinburgh's changing architecture, from its historic 'closes' and Neo-classical monuments, to its Victorian breweries and spectacular 21st century Parliament.
