<p>The second stop on our literary whistle stop tour of Edinburgh is The Writers Museum in Makars Court.</p><p>Focussing on the three writers generally considered to be the great Titans of Scottish Literature: Robbie Burns, Sir Walter Scott &amp; Robert Louis Stevenson.</p><p>We have a wander round,&nbsp;read some poetry and look into why these fellas are so revered.</p><p>We also go on a literary pub tour and have a chat with actor Mike Daviot, who just so happened to be an absolute font of knowledge about poetry and the Scots language.</p><p>Turns out literary pub tours are one of our favourite kinds of tour! Now who could have guessed that?!</p><p>So hop on board the Failing Writers Tour Bus and join us for a fascinating, if admittedly wholly inadequate look at three of the greatest writers, not just of Scotland, but the world.</p><br><p>The Writer's Museum:</p><p><a href="https://cultureedinburgh.com/our-venues/writers-museum" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://cultureedinburgh.com/our-venues/writers-museum</a></p><br><p>The Literary Pub Tour we enjoyed:</p><p><a href="https://www.edinburghliterarypubtour.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.edinburghliterarypubtour.co.uk/</a></p><br><p>Tam o' Shanter:</p><p><a href="http://www.robertburns.org.uk/Assets/Poems_Songs/tamoshanter.htm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.robertburns.org.uk/Assets/Poems_Songs/tamoshanter.htm</a></p><br><p>Hopefully that's inspired you to take a closer look at the poems and novels of these absolute titans.
