Scottish Capital - Guide to Architecture in southeast Scotland
We've selected what we feel are the key examples of Edinburgh Architecture.
We aim to include buildings that are either of top quality or interesting,
or ideally both. We cover completed buildings, new building designs,
architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across the
Scottish capital.

architectural background
Walking Tours since 2001. The most popular walking tour is in the
Old Town - we do a range of tours from 2 to 4 hours long and can vary
the emphasis from traditioanl to contemporary buildings
We can arrange accommodation for tours in contemporary quality hotels,
dining in a range of good restaurants and suggested evening entertainment,
ie the whole package for a fee. We can also provide walking tours
information on programme, geographical areas and building types up
to a year ahead of trips. For example a group of architects interested
in a tour re innovative social housing could be provided with tailored
information allowing a programme to be agreed prior to their visit.
We can also arrange short talks by architects.
If you only have half a day we suggest you do the Old Town. If you
have a whole day do the Old Town and the New Town. If you have transport
we suggest you visit the 'unmissable' buildings in the full Edinburgh
Architecture Tour
