Join poet Ken Cockburn for a walking tour of Edinburgh’s Old Town, exploring places connected with its occupation by Bonnie Prince Charlie’s Highland army in the autumn of 1745. Ken reads poems and prose about the ’45, written by those involved at the time, and by later writers fascinated by the turbulence and romance of ‘Charlie’s Year’, including Burns, Scott and Stevenson. The walk starts at the Palace of Holyroodhouse and ends at the National Museum of Scotland.
