Hello, I'm Doug, your local host in Edinburgh. I love this city for its fascinating history, museums, galleries, open spaces, and sports scene. As a cinema enthusiast, I can recommend the best theaters and give great insights into the Edinburgh International Film Festival. I also have experience working with the Edinburgh Fringe performance venues and can provide insider tips on the best shows to catch. I enjoy walking, reading, and visiting the city's botanic garden in my free time. I look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh and sharing my love of this amazing city with you.
