What to expect
Beehive Inn
Begin your literary adventure at the historic Beehive Inn. As you ascend to the top floor, prepare to be entertained by the witty duo Clart and McBrain. This is where your journey through the rich literary history of Edinburgh begins, setting the stage for a night of dramatic storytelling and pub hopping.
Wander through the cobbled streets and narrow wynds of Edinburgh's Old Town. Feel the history come alive as you pass by iconic locations that have inspired many of Scotland’s greatest writers. Clart and McBrain will regale you with tales of literary greats and the vibrant tavern life that shaped their works.
Explore the elegant streets of Edinburgh's New Town, a stark contrast to the Old Town. The architectural beauty and historical relevance of this area provide a perfect backdrop for stories of literary figures who frequented these streets. As you stroll, Clart and McBrain will continue their lively duologue, immersing you in three hundred years of literary history.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
