Ruth Boreham is a local provider of women's history walks. We met in the Old Town to enjoy a chat about Scotland's often overlooked, but hugely talented, women writers. We started out in Lady Stair's Close which is home to a beautiful building that houses the Writers' Museum. The Museum focuses on just three writers: Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson, but we talked women instead!
We also enjoyed studying the paving stones of Makar's Court which are covered in quotations from Scottish writers through the years.
Lady Stair's Close is between the Mound and the Lawnmarket: https://maps.app.goo.gl/LVMx12gPuPYWVYzU7
