Edinburgh Private Tours

Edinburgh packs its history into a compact centre. The Royal Mile drops from the castle esplanade to the Palace of Holyroodhouse, with closes such as Mary King’s Close buried beneath the street. Climb Arthur’s Seat before breakfast for a view over the Firth of Forth, then cross to the Georgian grid of the New Town. August fills the city with festival crowds; May, June and September are calmer, and the city makes a natural start for a Highlands journey.
