CAMRA launches Edinburgh Pub Walks booklet

27th July 2010, 9:03am

CAMRA, the Campaign for Real Ale, is launching an Edinburgh Pub Walks book for people visiting or living in Scotland's capital city.

Edinburgh Pub Walks, by CAMRA author Bob Steel, is a pocket-sized guide to the pubs in Edinburgh and the surrounding area, taking in 25 town, country and coastal walks.

Dividing the guide into two manageable sections – 'Edinburgh Old and New' and 'Beyond the Fringe' – allows the reader to experience the city using short, simple routes which take in the views and architecture of the capital.
 
Highlighted on each route are key cultural attractions, recommended pubs, and access to public transport facilities, with trails intertwined.

Bob Steel, Edinburgh Pub Walks author, said: "The late great beer writer Michael Jackson once said there was nowhere he would rather pub crawl than Edinburgh, and in my opinion there isn't a more attractive city to take an urban walk. The city's topography and built environment offer continually changing points of interest, and there's always a good pub close to hand when you need one!

"For anyone unfamiliar with this beautiful city, the guide supplements the trails with information about this historic festival city and its origins, complete with an overview of the Scottish real ale industry.  

"Edinburgh Pub Walks contains everything you need to start your expedition around this fantastic city, whether you are a seasoned real ale drinker, a history buff, a lover of beautiful city walks, or a fan of breathtaking pub architecture."

Edinburg Pub Walks is out now, priced £7.99 for CAMRA members and £9.99 for non-members. The title is available from the CAMRA shop and all good retailers.
