Description:
Explore 'hidden' parts of Edinburgh, away from the tourist trail, with Stephen Millar, walking guide and author of Edinburgh's Hidden Walks, and guides to Glasgow, London and New York. Stephen has published walks covering urban trails from Stockbridge to Harlem, the Gorbals to Mayfair and Brooklyn to Notting Hill. On this walk, you will explore Edinburgh's history through old maps, learn about the city's growth, its role in the Scottish Enlightenment, and sites associated with murders, ghosts, and literary heroes! Copies of old maps will be used on the walk.
