Location: Melville Monument, 42 St Andrew Square
The tour will be led by Lisa Williams, director of the Edinburgh Caribbean Association and Honorary Fellow in the department of History, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh. Hear the fascinating but little-known stories of Edinburgh's deep connections with Africa, Asia and the Caribbean from the 16th century to the present day; with a focus on the Caribbean and Edinburgh's role in the Transatlantic Slave System.

The route itself is fairly gentle, lasts up to 2.5 hours and has some indoor rest stops along the way.
