An extra special walking tour from the Edinburgh Street Historians, this is a tour which no one else does, Southside Edinburgh’s gorgeous Meadows tour! This large green park space has a fascinating history as well as a great natural landscape. You’ll get to see some amazing views of the city which are impossible anywhere else while developing a much better understanding of how cities become the places they are.
There’s bits of social and cultural history in this tour which other tours of Edinburgh simply cannot cover.
The Meadows tour is one hour long, very popular with locals and visitors alike, is an ideal way to spend an afternoon.
Hear how modern Edinburgh was shaped by its environment and how it still continues to affect the people here to this day! This walk is a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city centre. The Meadows is amazing because as a largely natural space, it changes throughout the year. In Spring there’s cherry blossoms, in Summer there are thousands of barbecues, in Autumn there are falling leaves, and in Winter the bare branches. This tour happens all year so dress appropriately.
This tour is ideal for photographers and those with dogs. It is also very accessible as the paths are quite flat.
