Overview

Join a guide on a journey the full length of Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile, ending right outside the formal Royal Edinburgh home, the mighty castle. Hear tales of Holyrood Palace before walking the entirety of Canongate, passing several sights en route, all the way to the dividing wall between the two former burghs of Canongate and Edinburgh. Make your way through old Edinburgh, discussing the incredible characters from this historic medieval town. Finish on the esplanade of the mighty Edinburgh Castle, the origin of Edinburgh that is the longest continuously occupied site on mainland Scotland. Your guide will be a professional public speaker, with a background in stand-up comedy, so as well as learning you will be laughing too.

Itinerary

  • Palace of Holyroodhouse

    Edinburgh's current royal home, tales of Mary Queen of Scots, the former Abbey here and area of sanctuary.

    12 minutes

  • The Scottish Parliament

    The current Scottish Parliament. Here we will discuss governance, the Union with England. Arthurs Seat in the background.

    10 minutes

    Take in the sights of the former Tolbooth, the beautiful Canongate church and graveyard, and a filming location for a Scottish television show.

    13 minutes

  • The Netherbow

    The site of the former entrance to Edinburgh. The dividing line between the two historic burghs.

    10 minutes

  • John Knox House Museum

    One of the oldest buildings in Old Edinburgh. Hear about the great/infamous Protestant reformer. Also see an old well that used to satisfy the thirst of medieval Edinburghers.

    10 minutes

  • North Bridge

    The site of two "invisible" bridges, a piece of genius in dealing with a growing population and the large chasm in Edinburgh.

    10 minutes

  • Parliament House

    Site of Scotland's former government building, now our Supreme Court. Hear about Scots Law and the fight to retain some independence after the Union.

    10 minutes

  • St Giles' Cathedral

    The home of world Presbyterianism. A magnificent 900 year old history contained within its walls. Hear tales of change, important milestones and a shopkeeper who changed the history of Britain.

  • Estatua David Hume

    Tales of the Royal Mile, Scottish Enlightenment, and an Edinburgh man who lived a secret double life.

    9 minutes

  • Assembly Hall

    Comparison of the Old Town and New Town. Show you the layout of old Edinburgh and talk of the squalid conditions people lived in, in one of the busiest cities in Europe.

    13 minutes

  • Edinburgh Castle

    Final stop at the esplanade, see our magnificent castle that sits proudly on top of castle rock. We have been occupying it for 3000 years and it is Edinburgh's origin story.
