Tim is a passionate, knowledgable and entertaining host as he guides you round Sunny Leith (it really was sunny, too!). He intersperses the stops en route with appropriate readings from a spectacularly well-worn copy of assorted Welsh books and gives colour to sites that might otherwise escape the casual visitor with knowledge either of the books, the film or just the local history of Leith, a place he\'s lived three decades and clearly really appreciates. If you, like me, have imagined the kinds of places that Renton, Spud et al conducted their shenanigans then take the opportunity to experience some of it for real. As we sat on the bench Spud sat on near the dole office inspired by a Swan we even saw a pair of swans appear right on cue. In addition to the tour Tim marked out points of interest on map he gave us (including the worst toilet in Scotland - in Muirhouse) so we were able to extend the tour a little on our walk back to Edinburgh from Leith. If you\'ve more than a passing interest in Trainspotting and in the area then this is an absolute must-do trip. Really looking forward to Tim\'s book coming out.
Please wait...
