Description

if you're a fan of Radio 4's 'the unbelievable truth' you'll love this. Incredible historical insight and fascinating "facts" from a show previously described by audience members as: 'an absolute highlight of our Fringe', 'inspired' and 'hilarious, unique and totally informative – but not in the right way' After two sell-out runs in 2021 and 2022, local town planner Angus is back again to guide history fans on the classic factually inaccurate historical walking tour that truly defines this most niche of genres! Prepare to learn what you never knew you never knew about Scotland's historic capital city...

Having lived here most of my adult life, I now realise that most of what I thought I knew about Edinburgh is depressingly accurate. Thankfully Angus was able to put me wrong on a lot of it.

Surely the best (certainly the least accurate) walking tour in town.

Angus has a great eye for ideas to tell funny and informative tales of old Edinburgh. I would recommend it to you.

Brilliantly deadpan combination of absurdity and real sounding facts.

We had a highly entertaining morning being guided around the Royal Mile listening to a series of increasingly implausible and hilarious stories about days gone by. Highly recommend!

This tour is a hoot. Definitely join this if you want some hilarious stories and highly unlikely to be true fun facts. Angus is a great story teller. We had already joined this tour with Angus last year but joined again as it was so enjoyable and it had us in stitches again. Highly recommended!

Good fun walk around a few streets of central Edinburgh. Angus is very personable and includes the audience his gentle patter. A nice way to ease you into a day at the fringe!
