Hidden in a corner of your favourite pub or dominating the city skyline lie a wealth of curious objects that tell the fascinating history of Edinburgh. Let us kick-start your curiosity-hunting with a walking tour through EDINBURGH’S NEW TOWN as we reveal hidden gems and cast new light on old favourites.
In the city where the SCOTTISH ENLIGHTENMENT ushered in a new age of discovery, explore how Edinburgh’s curiosities and creators have shaped our town and the modern world.
Our walking tour will reveal highlights from the 101 OBJECTS initiative that’s currently running in Edinburgh and will no doubt fire your curiosity even more!
