UK Literary Escapes

The Edinburgh Literary Pub Tour is an unusual way to take in the history of Edinburgh's most famous writers.

Visitors are led through the city by actors who share their enthusiasm for the city's rich literary culture, re-enacting scenes from Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde and reciting some of Robert Burns' dirtyist poetry, as well as taking visitors to the pubs favoured by some of Edinburgh's other literary heroes, from Robert Louis Stevenson to Irvine Welsh.
