Edinburgh History Private Walking Tour
This tour takes you to the local spots in Dean Village, Stockbridge and Edinburgh New Town, well away from the crowds, especially in the summer months when Edinburgh Old Town can get crowded.
Many Scottish people never visit these places which are all real gems you shouldn't miss if you want to explore all the places that make Edinburgh great and visit the lesser known local spots that most tourists will never know about.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Charlotte Square
We start off the tour proper in Charlotte Square to see some amazing architecture, learn when and why Edinburgh New Town was made and see some of it's stunning buildings.
Dean Village
This has to be our favourite place in Edinburgh and we think it will be yours too. A milling village from the 1600's that makes you feel like you have went back in time. The old mill, schools etc are now all residences nearby the Water of Leith, it really does feel like you are in a village and not in the city centre.
We wall along the Water of Leith where you will feel like you are strolling in the country and we will stop at the quaint St.Bernards well for photos and to find out about it's history.
