The diverse architecture blends history and modernity.
The oldest remaining building is John Knox’s House dating back to 1470.

Autumn is creeping in and we think few cities look as good in autumnal colours than Edinburgh does. Just don't forget to wrap up warm if you are joining one of our tours.

Edinburgh has many great free museums that you might not know about. For instance inside the Bank of Scotland Head Office building you will find the Museum on the Mound. This free museum takes you through the history of banking in Scotland and there is not much you will get for free from the bank so for this reason alone we would recommend a visit 😁

Easy if you live in Edinburgh, more challenging if you don't but who knows which building this is and bonus points if you know the purpose of these windows?

Angus entertaining his group on our Whisky and Folklore event. Did you know you can now book this tour with an included haggis supper for a full Scottish evening.

Here's Ben doing his thing on the whisky tasting. He might be English but we don't hold that against him. What whisky would you like to try on the tasting?

Walking around Edinburgh's Old Town never gets dull!

Have you planned to come visit Edinburgh this summer?

One of the great things about Edinburgh in the summer time is the long evenings. Sunset is at quarter to ten today but even at midnight the horizon is still bright.

Calton Hill (where this photo was taken) is one of the best spots in town for sunset walks.

It's World Whisky Day! So what better time to announce that we have a new whisky on our whisky tasting. Lochlea is a new independent distillery based in the Lowlands on the same farm that Robert Burns' father used to own. Will you be sipping on a whisky tonight? If so, which one?

13/05/2024

We're not saying that Edinburgh is the best city in the world but...

It is, at long last, starting to feel a bit more spring-like in Edinburgh now. The cherry blossom is blooming great. These trees that are in bloom are at the entrance to the Canongate Kirk which is right beside a fantastic little museum called The Peoples Story.

We have two new members of staff, Valentina and Macarena who you may have seen out and about on the Royal Mile. They can confirm it takes exactly 7 weeks and 3 days before the drone of the bagpipes starts to get a little repetitive 😄 love them or hate them you are certainly never far from them when you work in and around the Old Town.

So here's Edinburgh's other well rubbed statue, David Hume. People come to rub his toe as they believe it will bring good luck. The great irony here being that Hume spent much of his working life reflecting and disproving the ideas of the miraculous or supernatural.

More recently there has been some controversy around Edinburgh University's decision to rename it's David Hume tower due to racist comments David Hume made during his lifetime. Some would argue that it is unfair to hold historical figures to modern day morals but in this case David Humes views drew controversy and criticism during his own lifetime most notably drawing criticism from fellow philosopher James Beattie.

Bobby, the dog who sat by his master's grave for 14 years is an icon of Edinburgh. He has popped up in a plethora of media from Discworld to GTA. For us, his most poignant influence was on an episode of Futurama. Today he is loved by millions and his nose is rubbed by thousands. We don't really understand the whole nose rubbing thing, what dog enjoys having its nose rubbed? The nose rubbing also frustrates some locals who are concerned the nose may well fall off one day! If you must rub a statue David Hume is nearby and he has a very well polished toe. This supposedly brings good luck which is rather ironic (we will go into why in our next post) but it does have the added advantages that no one seems too concerned about it falling off any time soon.

Can you picture yourself here? Sipping Scottish Whisky and listening to beautiful, traditional Celtic Folk music. Our Scottish Whisky Tastings come with tales and meaningful history to connect to Scottish culture. Cheesy as it sounds, whisky really is an experience as well as a drink. In our whisky tastings, all our guides come with their own style and talent for storytelling. Here we enjoy our very talented and wonderful guide Elinor play Miss Cameron of Balvennie, as we sip our 2nd Scottish whisky @hot.toddy.edinburgh hot.toddy.edinburgh #whiskytasting #whisky #scottishwhisky #visitscotland #thisisedinburgh #followthefish #littlefishtours #tourism #scottishhistory #celticmusic #scottishfolklore

Provide people with “bread and circuses” and nobody shall challenge authority ( hopefully). Did you know that public hangings in the Grassmarket of Edinburgh’s Old Town was a form of public entertainment from about the late 17th to early 19th century? The last person to be hanged in Edinburgh was in 1954. Convicted for brutally murdering his wife and child, George Robertson was the last drop in the Saughton Prison Gallows. #followthefish #littlefishtours #grassmarket #oldtownedinburgh #edinburgh #edinburgholdtown #edinburghhistory #visitedinburgh #visitscotland #edinburghcity #historylovers
