From Cullen Skink to Cranachan: A Taste of Edinburgh

A food tasting walking tour

Come dine with me and I shall introduce you to the:

• Local produce and baking of Scotland.
• Royal Mile in the old town and the eastern edge of the New Town

The tour includes:

• Broughton Street in the new town
• Canongate (part of the Royal Mile) in the old town

I am a passionate advocate of the excellence and quality of Scottish food and hope that by the end of this tour you will think so too!
