Guided Edinburgh Private Walking Tour

Description

This private guided walk with our unique guides, Stuart Usher or his son, Richard Usher, will both entertain and enthral your group. Your party (up to 10 people) will be the only visitors on the walk. Stuart's family have historic connections with Edinburgh (his great-great Uncle, Andrew Usher, donated the magnificent Usher Hall to the city, where the tour normally starts) and his deep knowledge of the city's cultural, historical and architectural aspects means he has a unique perspective.

You can book a morning tour (9.30am to 1.00pm), an afternoon tour (2.00pm to 5.30pm) or our full-day tour (9.30am to 4.30pm)

You can have flexibility on itinerary should you choose, e.g. if you have special interests in certain aspects of Edinburgh, and we can even arrange a starting point to suit you (e.g. your hotel) as long as it is in the city-centre.

About operator:

Your host/guide on the Edinburgh Guided Tour will be Stuart Usher or his son Richard Usher or professional historian Dr Alison Duncan. They meet walkers outside Usher Hall, Scotland's premier concert hall and an Edinburgh Landmark. Usher Hall was donated to Edinburgh by Stuart's family which has been associated with Scotland, and Edinburgh in particular, for centuries. Stuart was the subject of a Channel Four Cutting Edge Documentary in 2002 which is viewable on youtube. See (externally) the huge Castle sitting on the plug of an ancient volcano, its Palace a mile from the Castle and connected by the Royal Mile, and its ancient Public and Coffee houses some of which date back to the 1400's. Also sites associated with the many incredible people which Edinburgh produced such as the world famous Robert Burns, David Hume, Sir Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, Alexander Graham Bell, and Adam Smith, the Father of Modern Economics. You can see a video of the tour amongst the photos.
