Description

Discover the home of Mary Queen of Scots on this tour of the Edinburgh Castle.

Meet your professional guide for a formal introduction to Edinburgh with a tour of the city, included in your ticket. Pass by medieval prisons, modern museums, national monuments, and churches along the way.

Then, walk to Edinburgh Castle, a structure that's dominated the city skyline for centries from its seat perched on the extinct volcano of Castle Rock.

You'll explore the castle's promenade and learn about the the origins and sieges of the castle. Admire the 16th-century Great Hall where parties and feasts took place and learn about the bloody history of the kings and queens who resided in the castle.
