Hear about their fascinating life stories and world-changing science in small groups led by physics lecturers and PhD researchers from the University of Edinburgh.

Please dress for the weather and wear suitable footwear. The tour lasts approximately 90 minutes and covers 2.5 km, starting at Old College and ending in New Town. A step-free route is available with the tour guide.
