For an excellent night out in Edinburgh follow the Edinburgh Literary Pub Tour

The Edinburgh Literary Pub Tour - Scottish Thistle Award Winner for Arts and Tourism.

This multi-award winning tour was launched in 1996 as a pioneering project in Arts & Tourism. Presented as a dramatic duologue, a hilarious duel of wits ensues performed by professional actors across 300 years of great writing and colourful characters. Its success is probably due to it sticking to tried and tested “lines”...... albeit spiced up with a large dose of dramatic verve!!

The Edinburgh Literary Bus Tour

The tour was launched in 2006 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of The Scottish Literary Tour Trust Trust. Winner of The Tourism Innovation Award from Scottish Enterprise. It now departs from Charlotte Square (the site of The Edinburgh International Book Festival) so feel free to hop on and catch a classic literary festival event!

The Makars Literary Tour

This wonderful piece of promenade theatre – developed over many years – provides the perfect family entertainment, as our professional actors play virtual “hop-scotch” spanning hundreds of years of verse, inscribed and set in paving – leading to the door of The Writers Museum, where this unique literary tour begins and ends.

"For an entertaining insight into the greats of Scottish literature, served up with new friends, good beer, and lots of laughs, the Edinburgh Literary Pub Tour is my vote for the best way to spend an Edinburgh Evening!"
