Edinburgh World Heritage and Edinburgh Tourism Action Group have helped Anne Daly a guide with tour company Mary’s Meanders and the Edinburgh Sketcher produce a new book featuring Outlander locations near Edinburgh.
Yesterday Midhope and more, a new book with sketches and descriptions showing off locations where Outlander was filmed in and around the capital was revealed.
The book features 10 different filming locations and is promoted as an ideal guide for an upcoming trip or even as a memory of time spent in Edinburgh.
The Edinburgh Sketcher, Mark Kirkham spoke about his experience of sketching the capital city.
Mark said: “Always a doodler it wasn’t until 2010 when I started uploading my scribbles to show the world. Living in Edinburgh, surrounded by stunning architecture and beautiful landscapes, I was spoilt for choice when it came to subjects to draw. I now offer commissions, prints, various merchandise, sketching workshops and sketching tours within the city, as well as live sketching from events such as festivals and weddings.”
Anne Daly from Mary’s Meanders was the author of the book. She is a guide with the tour company based in Linlithgow. She said that both she and her colleague Emma Chalmers are both huge Outlander fans. “We have been offering the TV series location tours since they started filming right on our doorstep, and in locations around our area.”
Anne continued : “We feel very privileged to play a small part in our guests’ dream vacation and we have shared some fun experiences and memories. We have made lots of new friends and look forward to meeting many more.”
Mary’s Meanders are offering Outlander themed sketching and history tours, which will run on Thursday evenings.
Meet outside Serenity Cafe, Jackson’s Close at 6.10pm. Book here.
