Brian - Tour Guide in Edinburgh

A bit of history, a bit of trivia and a few wee jokes. Born and bred in Edinburgh, I worked as a reporter, feature writer and cinema editor on The Scotsman for 17 years and subsequently wrote regularly for the Guardian and London Times. I have written and edited several books, including The Times on Cinema and On Location - The Film Fan's Guide to Britain and Ireland. More recently I have featured as a tour guide on national television on the This Morning programme.

One of the best walking tours I have ever been on! Brian shared many intriguing and entertaining stories, both on the Royal Mile and a few of the neighbouring cemeteries. I learned a lot about the history of the city from many different time periods, and got to hear about his personal history growing up in Edinburgh! I can’t recommend this tour enough. Just be sure to wear good walking shoes!
