| Take a walk in Edinburgh |
|
More than a walking tour, these small-group, scholar-led 'walking seminars' is the ideal day tour for cities like Rome, Paris, and New York, and now Edinburgh. Working with local historians, Context opens with six innovative tours to help visitors understand and appreciate Edinburgh's history and heritage. As with its tours elsewhere, group walks in Edinburgh are for only six participants, the lowest group size in the walking tour industry. Most walks will last three hours and be led by local scholars and other experts 'Context's signature' and each activity is aimed at independent travelers who want to acquire a deeper understanding and appreciation for Edinburgh and its history.
Initial offerings include tours such as: Worship and Religion, History of Medicine, and the Miracle of Glasgow. The latter is a day trip to Glasgow, exploring its contemporary art scene. The History of Medicine walk focuses on the period between 1751 and 1800, when Edinburgh was a major center of medical science, home to discoveries in anesthesia and antisepsis, and to such famous practitioners as Alexander Fleming, Elsie Inglis (pioneer in women's medicine), and Conan Doyle, who evolved his method of detecting criminals from his Scottish medical tutor. |
