The video tours were really great, with excellent interviews along each route. One of the best parts of #AoUCongress. Well done to all involved in their production. I hope actual visits to Edinburgh can follow soon. @theAoU @AoU_Scotland @AoUYU @sto_paul @JasAtwal22 @CarolMacBain

Bart Somers from Mechelen in Belgium sums things up nicely…
