Unfortunately, many of the suggested apps would not work on my phone, but I was able to access the Curious Edinburgh app. I found the app very easy to use and I enjoyed the variety of tours. The write-ups were very informative and it was fascinating to see the vast amount of points of interest around Edinburgh. As I live in the city centre, I found that there were a lot of points of interest that I passed every day without knowing. Many of the points are within a short walking distance of each other and so tours could be completed easily by following the suggested route, but I think the simplicity of the app and the pedestrian-friendly layout of the city centre make it possible for users to create their own route. I also liked that although the tours are all centrally located, they do utilise different routes. The History of Brewing and the History of Charity and Civic Action tours were particularly interesting. While there are lots of Edinburgh guides for tourists, Curious Edinburgh would be great for locals (as long as they don’t use it in August). We often overlook what is right in our back yard.
I hope in the future I will have the opportunity to complete some geocaching adventures. I have not done it before, but in high school, there was an outdoors club that popularised geocaching. It would also be a great way to explore the city.
