Day 61

The Banana Flats

In our second instalment with Paul Stewart, a tour guide with Invisible Cities, Paul takes us to Cables Wynd House aka the Banana Flats and gives us another brief segment of his lively “alternative tour” of Leith.

Paul runs two tours in Leith for Invisible Cities which is a social enterprise that trains people who have experienced homelessness to become walking tour guides of their own city. They offer alternative tours to locals and tourists. To book a tour with Paul or view the other tours this organisation offers in cities across the UK, visit their website below.
