BOOK YOUR WALKING TOUR

OLD TOWN AND EDINBURGH CASTLE TOUR

Ideal for those only in Edinburgh for a short stay, explore our city’s Old Town, in the company of an experienced guide with a PhD in Scottish history.

I particularly enjoy leading this tour because there is the opportunity to explore 2, 000 years of my country’s history. Of the roughly 1,500 castles in Scotland, Edinburgh Castle is the most iconic and the first of many I have visited. Your walking tour will include some amazing city landmarks such as St Giles Cathedral, Greyfriars Kirkyard and of course Edinburgh Castle. This tour will end with your guide taking you into the Castle itself and showing you the main points of interest (and what you can’t afford to miss) before leaving you to explore further on your own.

Perfect for individuals and groups of all ages interested in Scotland’s fascinating history and culture, but with a limited amount of time in Edinburgh – sees both the Old Town and the Castle in a morning or afternoon! PLEASE NOTE: Castle tickets need to be purchased separately on the castle website and cannot be bought on the day. Contact Gains for advice if unsure what time slot to get.
