Edinburgh - Literary City
The Scottish Literary Tour Trust was formed in June 1996 to produce unique literary projects to entertain and inform a wide audience through the collaboration of Scottish talent, past and present. Edinburgh Literary Bus Tour on the 2nd June 2006, which runs twice daily at 11 am and 12.30pm consecutively, from Waverley Bridge ( adjacent to Waverley Railway Station).

Edinburgh - Ghost City
The Edinburgh ghost tours are among the most popular walking tours of the city. Edinburgh's history spans hundreds of years and the overcrowded Old Town, home of the common and rich alike, became the perfect setting for some of the richest gruesome folklore in Scotland.

Edinburgh - Festival City
The EIF is billed as 'a sizzling three weeks of the very best opera, theatre, classical music and dance.' One of the most popular annual events is the military tattoo, which sells out long before the first swirl of the bagpipes is heard on the Castle esplanade.
