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.

This tour guide was remarkably pleasant and his details of Leith and its history made the tour interesting. Would absolutely recommend this tour to all my friends and family

This was our second tour with Brian. It was a nice informative tour of this little historic town in Edinburgh. Brian himself is very friendly and speaks in a way that is easy to hear, understand and follow.
