Join Edinburgh poet Ken Cockburn on this walk through the literary sights of the Royal Mile. Ideal for those who like strolling the city to see its historic closes and green spaces, and hearing about its great writers. If you're new to Edinburgh you'll see some of the main sights and if you know the city you’ll experience it afresh through the words of poets down the centuries. 'A privilege… to enjoy the poetry and discover places and features that I didn’t know down the Royal Mile. I would never have explored them on my own' (Audience Review 2024).
