About this activity
Once you are picked, we head for Edinburgh castle. This is the top of the Royal Mile and we will have a slow drive or walk down towards Holyrood Palace and experience over 1000 years of history on the way.
See what life was like in the 1700s by looking up our mysterious, historical closes. From Riddle's court, Lady Stair's Close, Brodie's close, where the infamous Deacon Brodie lived. Visit the statue and grave of the legendary Greyfriar's Bobby and see where J. K. Rowling wrote and was inspired to write the Harry Potter books.
After we go down to the Palace, we will drive up to Arthur's Seat for a lovely photo opportunity. We will then head to the New Town to see the magnificent 1767 masterplan of James Craig. Splendid Georgian terraced houses in all their glory.
We will then head for the Forth Bridges, to the North of Edinburgh for another spectacular photo opportunity. After this, we will head back to your original pick up point.
