The Edinburgh Literary Bus Tour - Dates & Times

"It's impossible to live in Edinburgh without sensing its literary heritage everywhere. It seems eminently sensible to me to recognise this, along with the contemporary literary life here, with a permanent title that can inspire and inform other places around the world."

J. K. ROWLING

Reekie is not a tour guide, he explains, at the beginning. He knows nothing about buying tickets for the Castle but what he does know is "My Edinburgh of poets and philosophers... in the Athens of the North."

- Vivien Devlin (EdinburghGuide.com)


You are taken on a whirlwind literary journey from the enlightening times of David Hume and Robert Louis Stevenson to 21st century bestsellers, Alexander McCall Smith and JK Rowling.
