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, 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.
