The botanic gardens exploration continues! This Beech Hedge was originally planted in 1906 and it takes two staff, two weeks to trim it. #newtownedinburgh #Edinburgh #walkingtour #visitedinburgh #history

Trying to write the next great historical fiction novel? Branch out (pun intended!) for some inspiration to the New Town. #Edinburgh #walkingtour #history #visitedinburgh #history

Built 252 years ago, Edinburgh’s New Town is known for its elegance, uniformity and private gardens. ‘This is the Scottish Enlightenment given physical form’ - Alexander McCall Smith #newtownedinburgh #Edinburgh #walkingtour #history #visitedinburgh

Greetings from another city-with-a-castle!

Tweedale Court is a hidden gem along the #royalmile and an #outlander location. #auldtoun #Edinburgh #walkingtour #history #burkeandhare #visitedinburgh #history

Steve is researching his latest tour in one of Edinburgh’s famous cemeteries. When Waterloo Place was built, many bodies needed to be reinterred and that’s why this burial ground was created. Let’s hope there’s no restless spirits! #auldtoun #Edinburgh #walkingtour #history #burkeandhare #visitedinburgh #history

The sun is out, for how long no one knows... #auldtoun #Edinburgh #walkingtour #history #tourguide #storytelling #scotland #burkeandhare #truecrime #edinburgh #visitedinburgh
