Welcome to Truly Edinburgh, the website of journalist, copywriter and historical researcher Neil Gunn.
As a writer I wanted to get beyond the standard content found on many unauthoritative travel blogs by adding more depth to the content.
Truly Edinburgh is written, without cliches and unnecessary exaggeration, using traditional research methods.
