End Point
This is a rough estimation of where the tour finishes. Depending on the walking speed of the group (we don't rush anyone!). We may also finish in Princes St Gardens, very close to George St, if the group walking speed is wee bit faster than normal.

What to expect
Dean Village
A stunningly pretty former mill village located in Dean Vally by the fast flowing Water of Leith. See 17th century buildings as well as potentially wildlife including herons and otters. A taste of the Highlands only ten minutes walk from Princes Street!
20 minutes
New Town
Explore the not so New Town of Edinburgh- it was originally built in the 1770s! The neighbourhood’s design revolutionised the way cities were laid. See the former home of one of Scotland’s greatest writers and marvel at the grand Georgian townhouses.
40 minutes
Scott Monument
The largest monument to a writer anywhere in the world! The “Gothic Rocketship” is a worthy tribute to Walter Scott who changed the way novels were written and reinvigorated Scotland’s sense of national identity.
10 minutes
