  Dr. Grigor clearly has both a love of and an understanding of the history of medicine as seen through the very significant and pertinent lens of Edinburgh. Both his enthusiasm and depth of knowledge was on full display during our tour and the time literally flew by. I believe his presentation would be appreciated even by the non-medical person but to a trained physician (and physical therapist wife) it was more than delightful. What a great way to spend a day in Edinburgh.

  I recently attended a History of Medicine tour with classmates who graduated from Edinburgh half a century ago. This may have been a bespoke tour for our group. I can’t recommend the experience highly enough. Moray is a natural born storyteller who could not be dull if he tried. You will hear the history of Edinburgh medicine set in the context of national and international developments, and you will leave feeling as if you have personally met many of the great characters in the story. Quite an uplifting morning

• A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

  I organised the trip for a large group of medical friends and partners direct with the operator/guide. It was easy to arrange as he was helpful and flexible. The walking tour itself was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Lots of interesting, varied and relevant information that was well presented with the right amount of humour, easily heard and not rushed. The feedback from the group was enthusiastic. Several commented that they would be keen to go on another of the available walks All in all a real success and I would have no hesitation in recommending.

  Moray is well prepared, very knowledgeable, and people-oriented. If you want to go deeper in the medical history of Edinburgh, it's THE tour to do. I was impressed and being a lab technician in a hospital, he adds interesting and pertinent information.

• Great tour.

  Words will not be chosen lightly… To say our experience exceeded our expectations is a terrible injustice. We learned so much meaningful and profound information we had never heard of before. The entire time was filled with wonderful & surprising insights into the history of healthcare. But it wasn’t just the information- the delivery was superbly entertaining so the time passed magically through the walk. This experience is one of a lifetime - DONT MISS IT!

• Excellent Edinburgh medical and social history.

  Quite a lot of information to take in…we absolutely loved it, and Grigor clearly enjoys sharing his knowledge of the stories and evolution of medicine and medical education in Edinburgh. Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the social history of medicine, as it played out across the centuries in Edinburgh.

• Great walk around edinburgh and finding out how medical education evolved

  Moray Grigor was excellent in explaining the evolution of medicine particularly the differing stances of the physicians and the surgeons. Great to finish on the upbeat of women forcing themselves into the teaching halls despite fellow male students throwing food at them and putting a sheep in with them for the final exam!
