The Edinburgh Literary Pub Tour

Picture yourself wandering down into Grassmarket as the sun dips behind the castle, a pint glass warming your hand and an actor regaling you with tales of Edinburgh's wild literary past. This isn't your typical tour — it's part pub crawl, part theatrical performance, entirely brilliant. You'll hit proper neighbourhood boozers in the Old Town, the kind with creaky floorboards and regular regulars, whilst learning about the poets and writers who actually drank there. The guides are proper characters, not the clipboard-wielding type, and they make Robert Burns and Walter Scott feel like mates you're catching up with over a drink.
