Edinburgh Castle

Overlooking the city from its position atop the Mound, Edinburgh Castle is the capital’s most famous landmark. From the one o’clock gun, a canon fired at 1pm every day except Sunday since 1861, to the Crown Jewels, the oldest crown jewels in the British Isles, there are a number of fascinating stories to discover.

Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat

If there’s one thing Edinburgh’s not short of, it’s beautiful scenery. Holyrood Park, a short walk from the Royal Mile, is 640 acres of adventure. Guests and locals alike enjoy a hike up Arthur’s Seat, a dormant volcano and the park’s highest point at 251m above sea level. From this prime spot you can enjoy panoramic views of Edinburgh and feel on top of the world.

The Royal Mile

Stretching from the Castle down to the palace of Holyroodhouse, the Royal Mile runs through the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. A hub of activity, especially during the summer months, you’re always going to see something interesting on this old cobbled street. Whether it’s a man on a unicycle juggling fire, the magnificent St Giles’ Cathedral or the fascinating tales of the mile’s adjoining cobbled closes, one thing’s for sure – you’ll never get bored.

Spooky Tours
