Having just finished reading Sir Walter Scott’s The Heart of Midlothian for the modern reader. I really would recommend it, during this lockdown Coronavirus outbreak. The one big advantage for me is the amount of reading I’ve been catching up on. Walter Scott one of Edinburgh’s famous sons always plays a big part in our guided tours of Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders.

If you have never visited Abbotsford House I really can’t recommend it enough it’s one of my favourite places to take people on a private guided tour of Edinburgh and the Scottish Borders. You really haven’t visited Scotland until you’ve been on a guided tour of Scotland and the Borders.

Scott’s Viewpoint is something you will cherish forever once you experience the breathtaking views. Floors castle is one of our favourite castles to take visitors to on a guided tour of Scotland from Edinburgh.
