“Edinburgh is the most beautiful of all the capitals of Europe.” – the English Poet, Sir John Betjeman
“Edinburgh is a mad god’s dream.” – the Scottish Poet, Hugh Macdiarmid
The Ushers of Edinburgh
Stuart and Richard’s family roots are steeped in the history of both Edinburgh and Scotland. Stuart’s great-grandfather, Sir John Usher Bt., and his great-great uncle, Andrew Usher, introduced blended whisky to the world. In fact, Andrew is widely acknowledged as the Father of the blended Scotch whisky industry.

The Walking Tour
Start your holiday with us and let us give you inside knowledge on what to see, where to go, and things to do.
We normally start the Walking Tour at the Usher Hall, Scotland’s premier concert hall. It was donated to the city in 1896 by Andrew Usher.
Try our Group Walking Tours, They have an absolute maximum of 10 walkers to ensure you have a first-class experience. We feel strongly that tours of 30, 40 or 50 more, just cannot give you the same experience.
Alternatively, with our Private Walking Tours, your party are the only ones on the walk.
Edinburgh Guided Tour is currently ranked number 3 out of 367 Edinburgh tours on Trip Advisor; an exceptional performance for our small tour company.
And, even better, in 2019 TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards has us ranked at #5 in the world for cultural experiences!
It’s fair to say that we are unspeakably proud to be awarded such an accolade. Even fairer to say that a dram or two was raised!
