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

Did you know that Edinburgh has more pubs per square mile than any other city in Europe? The capital is famous - or perhaps infamous - for its drinking dens and the famous literary figures who frequented them. The old taverns and `howffs` around the Grassmarket and the Royal Mile were once the favourite haunts of Scotland`s most respected writers and poets.

"A tour full of charm and wit in keeping with the writers who inspired them."

SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY


It is no exaggeration to presume that a dram or pint of ale has, more often than not, helped to inject a touch of verve, invention and verbal magic to Scottish writing over the centuries. So if you've ever been working and found your mind wandering to your favourite drinking hole - don't worry, you're in good company.
