Founded in 1670, ‘in a turbulent age when Scotland was impoverished by centuries of civil war and both Cromwell and bubonic plague had left their mark on the capital city, Edinburgh still managed to produce the skills, resources and determination to create one of Britain’s first botanic gardens.’ #newtown #Edinburgh #walkingtour #history #tourguide #storytelling #scotland #edinburgh #visitedinburgh

‘If you want to walk in the footsteps of serial killers...this tour is a must!’ Learning about a notorious true crime story does involve visiting a cemetery with Steve, in ‘Evil Deeds: Burke and Hare.’ auldtounwalkingtours.com #auldtoun #Edinburgh #walkingtour #history #tourguide #storytelling #scotland #burkeandhare #truecrime #edinburgh #visitedinburgh
