Night-time in Edinburgh
Literary Pubs
Scotland is steeped in literary history. Some of its best known writers originated in Edinburgh. The Edinburgh Literary Pub Tour is a dynamic tour following in the footsteps of Scotland's literary heroes to famous and infamous pubs in Edinburgh. An intrepid duo will lead you on a brilliant and witty dramatic romp through the wynds, courtyards and pubs of Edinburgh's Old and New Town, taking you on a light-hearted journey through the life and work of some of Scotland's great poets and novelists, including Burns, Scott, Stevenson and many more.
The tour begins in the city's Grassmarket and leads you up through the winding streets of the Old Town, over the Mound and into the Georgian New Town.
Performed in and out of Edinburgh's taverns, you’ll hear the stories behind the creation of classic tales such as Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and experience a true living sense of Edinburgh's great architectural and literary history as you walk the streets of Scotland's capital city. A hilarious duel of wits across 300 years of great writing and colourful characters!
