Hetty's History Walks is run by historian, Hetty Lancaster.  She runs tours across the city introducing both visitors and locals to fascinating facts about Edinburgh and its past.  We met on a sunny autumn day in Holyrood Park - the King's park which surrounds the Palace of Holyroodhouse and is a wild and beautiful spot right in the middle of the city. 
Hetty is going to join me regularly over the next few months, introducing us to different areas of Edinburgh and their history.  To kick things off we talked about her background and business, while also learning more about Holyrood Park and how the landscape has changed over the centuries. 
Listen out for heron spotting and some tourists wheeling their suitcase up Salisbury Crags - we round a great location for our recording and I hope you enjoy finding out more about the Park and its history too.
