Overview

Start your tour near the Writer’s Museum, and follow in the footsteps of Scotland’s greatest literary figures such as Robert Burns. From there, you’ll explore the Royal Mile, hear stories about Mary Queen of Scots and take snaps of St Giles Cathedral.

Step inside Greyfriars Kirkyard, and find out how it inspired the Harry Potter series. Uncover the cemetery’s haunted past, such as the Mackenzie Poltergeist, before finishing your tour at Covenanters’ Prison. Don’t forget to ask your guide on the best local pubs for a pint or a bite to eat.

Afterwards, continue exploring the capital at your own pace with a city audio tour app.
