2010 is the Tenth Anniversary of the founding of Rebustours.

Under the shadow of Edinburgh Castle, not far from Princes Street and adjacent to the High Street or Royal Mile, Rebustours offer the perfect friendly, humourous and informative introduction to this most ancient, mysterious and fascinating of European capitals. Both tours are conducted on a Saturday; the Hidden Edinburgh tour from 12p.m. until 2p.m. and the Body Politic tour from 3p.m. till 5. The tours leave the Royal Oak pub in Infirmary Street.

August:- From Friday 7th until Monday 31st August, as Part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the Hidden Edinburgh tour will start at 1p.m. and the Body Politic tour at 4p.m.

It is not necessary to have read a Rebus book, as all the tours feature Edinburgh and Scottish history. There are some Rebus readings, and we visit several Rebus scenes. In order to maintain an element of surprise, I do not explain in advance where these are. Please arrive early, as I start promptly. Both tours cost £10 per person, payable on the day. If this is convenient, then please confirm. Please also consult the Rebustours web site or phone 0131-553-7473 nearer the time just to ensure that the tour is still taking place.

Thank you,

Colin Brown.

Rebustours

2010 is the Tenth Anniversary of the founding of Rebustours.

Rebustours are pleased to announce that they have performed the tours as part of the world famous Edinburgh Science Festival from Saturday 11th April until Saturday 18th April 2009.  Both tours took place every day during that week.  The Hidden Edinburgh tour was conducted from 1p.m. till 3p.m. and The Body Politic tour from 4p.m. until 6p.m. This is the first year that Rebustours have been asked to participate in this prestigious event, and it marks the considerable esteem in which Rebustours are held.

        I have recently returned from holiday in another part of stunning Scotland, and am therefore ready to tackle a further season of Rebustours with renewed energy enthusiasm and commitment.

     This year I have again been asked to provide a special Rebustour as part of the Edinburgh Peoples Festival. This prestegious event features Art and Performances that are “For the People, By the People” of Edinburgh. I will be honoured to conduct a tour on Monday 10th August.

Ian’s new book, Doors Open, is now out.
