Jacobite Edinburgh 1745 – A Healthy Walk Through History is a 90-minute outdoor walking event by Jacobite Reminiscences, beginning at Meeting Point. It takes audiences on a journey back to autumn 1745 — the most dangerous, dynamic and exciting weeks in Edinburgh's long history, when the city was occupied by Prince Charlie's Army. The walk answers questions including how the Jacobites breached Edinburgh's walls, how Prince Charlie's army secured its money and arms, and what became of key figures including the Lord Provost and the Marquis of Montrose. Mysteries are solved through eye-witness testimony, CSI techniques and old-fashioned detective work. Audiences should be prepared to stand throughout. Tickets are £10, suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
History investigated as detective work — walking the streets where it happened, with eye-witness testimony and CSI techniques applied to events from autumn 1745. A genuinely original format that makes one of Edinburgh's most dramatic episodes feel immediate.
