"History inspires me. After studying the subject at Edinburgh University – an important Old Town institution – I became a tour guide, a job I have done for the last 15 years. I tell the people I guide about Edinburgh Castle, St Giles’ Cathedral and Holyrood Palace; no tour would be complete without them.
But I also venture off the beaten track, to places even locals don’t know about. These unjustly overlooked spots are often the most revealing, helping us to understand what life was like centuries ago." - Euan MacInnes
