Tour company Context Travel, known for their small-group, scholar-led “walking seminars”, has announced its expansion to Edinburgh. Working with local historians, Context opens with six tours to help visitors understand and appreciate Edinburgh’s history and heritage.

Context will cap its group walks in Edinburgh at six participants, with most walks lasting three hours and led by local Ph.

D.-level scholars and other experts.

Known as “walking seminars,” each activity is aimed at independent travelers looking to acquire a deeper understanding and appreciation for Edinburgh and its history. Initial offerings include tours such as Worship and Religion, History of Medicine, and the Miracle of Glasgow.

Walks will be offered both privately on request and as regularly scheduled group walks.
