    I was sitting in a café in Leith last weekend and what looked like a vintage bike tour ambled past.
    There were 6-8 riders on what looked like very nice retro bikes. Not sure if they were brand new retros or genuine re-furbed oldies.
    Can't find anything online as to where this group originated.
    Does anyone know if this was a local company or able to shed any other assistance that might help me track them down.

    Did the bikes have little wooden signs with string to attached to the saddles?

    @themghtysimmonite, alas I have nothing to tell, I just overtook them on a tour they were giving two chaps. One Pashley sovereign and two Pashley guv'nors. Around Arthur's seat I will Google Pashley bike tours Edinburgh and see what happens.

    Edinburgh by Pashley. Chap called Richard based down Broughton Street

    A couple of weeks ago while riding through The Shore at Leith I encountered an inexorableness of Pashleys. Quite stylin' I thought, with their big cream coloured tyres and little wooden numberplate things.

    Two nice reviews on TripAdvisor.

    I encountered them on the Leith Links-Seafield path yesterday. A happy-looking group of 8 or so - largely Japanese/Chinese visitors, judging solely by appearance.
