The Edinburgh
Book Lovers' Tour & Literary Pub Crawl
are led by Allan Foster, author of 'The
Literary Traveller In Edinburgh' & 'The Literary
Traveller In Scotland', published by Mainstream.
To discover literary
Edinburgh, you have to walk it, defying Robert Louis Stevenson's
"bleak winds" and exploring Dorothy Wordsworth's
"passes of dark stone", simply because there is no other
way of penetrating the ancient wynds, closes and creeper-ridden
burial grounds of this city, whose literary past is written on
it's dark and hoary face. 'The Edinburgh Literary Traveller' (see
'buy the book' above) recounts many lives and tales, but to squeeze
500 years of literary Edinburgh into one single volume
is an impossible task. There is so much more to tell, and so much
more to see. Having travelled the length and breadth of Edinburgh
researching and photographing the sites featured in the book,
I can assure you the pickings are rich, the locations diverse
and stimulating, and with over 500 years to choose from, everybody's
reading taste is catered for from Robert Burns
to J.K. Rowling. So why not accompany Allan
Foster on a book lovers' odyssey around the Old Town
to explore more of literary Edinburgh's fascinating and never-ending
story, complete with commentary, readings, dramatisations and
lots of laughter.
