This Edinburgh Highlights tour will start at the Old Town on the famed Royal Mile, which connects Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyrood House.
We will travel through the winding streets and up the steep hills to sites of executions, cloned sheep, and the birthplace of Harry Potter. You will hear stories of the murderers, geniuses, body-snatchers, witch hunters, firebrand priests, and philosophers who have all lived on the side of a extinct volcano. You will also hear about the hangings that took place in the Grassmarket and see the eerie site of witch burnings as you marvel at the impenetrable Castle Rock above you and learn about the many attempts to capture Edinburgh Castle. Pass by the Scott Monument, as we drive from the Old Town into the New Town.
In Edinburgh’s Old Town, families lived in cramped conditions, and trash was thrown out of the windows, and you will be able to compare it to the elegant Georgian New Town with its three main streets and a square at either end.
Enjoy undivided attention and discover all the things to do and see in Edinburgh!
