When arriving off the tender look for your Edinburgh Tourist Guide holding a Go Scotland Tours sign.

This is an amazing piece of stone architecture from the Renaissance times that is full of mystery, myth and Templar Knights stories. It has become most famous for being included in the Dan Brown novel, the Da Vinci Code.

After we visit Rosslyn Chapel and hear the history talk we will make our way into Edinburgh. We then take a drive through Edinburgh's Royal Park, Holyrood Park. Here you can see views from the city's tallest hill, Arthur's Seat (*Please note this is not guaranteed as the High Road is sometimes closed). If time permits we will make a short photo stop at Holyrood Palace (*note this is not an interior visit). This was home to Mary Queen of Scotswho lead quite a dramatic life. The current Royal Family stay here whenever in town and the Queen holds her garden party here every summer.

Then we make our way up the historic Royal Mile to Edinburgh Castle. Here you will enjoy a personal guided walking tour of the castle. Hear the stories of how the castle has been built throughout the centuries. From the esplanade we head up through original iron (yett) gate to see the one o'clock gun. Then up St Margaret's Chapel and the famous medieval cannon called Mons Megg. Ending in the Crown Square where you will have free time to check out the Crown Jewels and Stone of Destiny.

In the afternoon you will have the option to continue your walking tour through some of Edinburgh's famous closes. We will then explore Greyfriar's Kirkyard, a fascinating Victorian Cemetery with many stories like the famous Hero Dog Bobby, the Poltergeist Mackenzie and many connections to Harry Potter. Alternatively you can skip the walking tour for more time to shop on the Royal Mile.
