It's also a something to do, somewhere to go idea - aimed at walkers. </p> <p>“Mr McHardy said: “There is an awful lot of stuff in Edinburgh’s history which has been swept away and brushed under the carpet. So much has been suppressed over the years and I think now is the time to be revisiting the past.”</p> <p>Gavin MacDougall, director of Luath Press, said Mr McHardy and Mr Smith would train guides. He added: “Boston [in the US] already has a freedom trail and there is a radical walking tour in New York. Nobody has given anything like this much thought in Edinburgh before. Even the Scottish Enlightenment is overlooked in the city, which was its seat.”</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/heritage/edinburgh-set-for-democracy-trail-attraction-1-3619763" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/heritage/edinburgh-set-for-democracy-trail-attraction-1-3619763</a></p> <p>This forum has had all sorts of asides about Art Deco architecture and (the remains of) industrial archaeology as well as bird spotting places.
