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.
It was our first time trying Guruwalks and Brian was an excellent ambassador. Kept us regaled with stories and his humour while not boring us with information overload. The route was very well planned and gave us a quick 101 on the city. Highly recommend Brian's tour
Brian gave us an excellent tour of the old city. The tour covered a large number of sites, giving us a real flavour of the city’s history and culture. Lots of surprising and interesting details, and all of it delivered clearly and with good humour.
The tour with Brian was awesome! We learned a lot about Edinburgh from him and appreciated the city so much more. He’s super interesting and kept us engaged the whole time. Highly recommend!!
I’ve done a few of these free walking tours in various cities, and Brian’s tour of Edinburgh was definitely one of the best. He was very knowledgeable on the history of the city and was clear and engaging in his presentation. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Edinburgh.
