Why did I buy it?
Im interested in all things literary and so when this apartment came on the market in 2001, I was excited by the fact that it sits just across the road from Sir Walter Scots Edinburgh townhouse and on the other side of the street from the birth place of "Wind in the Willows" author, Kenneth Grahame. of course, thats not forgetting that the apartment has unprecedented, stunning views of Edinburgh Castle and is in an excellent, central location for shopping, restaurants and culture - especially during The International Edinburgh Festival!
Who am I?
I worked as an actor for many years and as a radio broadcaster on the BBC, presenting arts programmes. Im also very interested in cultural tourism projects and in 1996 created The Edinburgh Literary Pub Tour, an award winning tour performed by professional actors. It runs throughout the year and Rick Steves, presenter of travel programmes USA wide, is quoted as saying in a recent review, "for an entertaining insight into the greats of Scottish literature, served up with new friends, good beer, and lots of laughs, The Edinburgh Literary Pub Tour is my vote for the best way to spend an Edinburgh Evening!" so cant be bad!! Let me know if your interested in going on the tour at check-in and I can reserve you a slot.
