The Edinburgh Literary Pub Tour

Award-winning gem of an introduction to literary Edinburgh! The Edinburgh Literary Pub Tour was the first literary tour launched in Edinburgh in 1996!
(32)

Hilarious duel of wits by professional actors, via atmospheric pubs and wynds of Auld Reekie. 300 years of great Scottish writing from Burns and Stevenson to Muriel Spark! Since then it has carried in excess of 150,000 satisfied customers on a dramatic literary trail across Edinburgh. It is regarded by many as a pioneer in its field, and a "Must-see" cultural attraction in guide books throughout t

he world. Why does it stand out from all the rest? Performed by professional actors, not academics or guides reciting from books, it represents great value for money and a very high entertainment factor! Join the intrepid duo, Clart (as in muck!) and our clean-hankied intellectual McBrain, who will lead you on a brilliant and witty dramatic romp through the wynds, courtyards and pubs of Edinburgh's Old and New Town. A hilarious duel of wits across three hundred years of great writing and colourful characters. Experience the ultimate pub tour!
