A Funny History of Edinburgh Walking Tour: With A Professional Stand-Up Comic!
About this Event

**What Is The Tour?**
Join one of Scotland’s funniest historical tour guides for a light hearted look at the history of the most iconic thoroughfare in the country, Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.
We will cover the history of the royals, power, innovation and the most important thing - the remarkable people that made this city (with extreme bias!) the most wonderful place on earth.
Beginning at the top of the mile next to the longest continuously occupied fortress in Scotland that dominates the skyline, your tour guide/comedian will tell you stories of great battles over the centuries, before making our way down the glorious mile.
We will finish outside the current official Royal residence, the magnificent Holyrood Palace.
In between be prepared for some breathtaking tales, dark nights, bright moments, all the time you will be laughing as well as learning.
Our main guide, Ross Leslie, is a 5-time Scottish Comedian of the Year finalist and has been entertaining audiences on stage and on the Royal Mile for several years.
