Start your journey at Parliament Square beside St Giles’ Cathedral, the architectural heart of Edinburgh’s legal and spiritual heritage . Here you’ll learn about the Mercat Cross, the Old Tolbooth, and the iconic Heart of Midlothian mosaic.

Walk east down the Royal Mile—through Castlehill, Lawnmarket, High Street, Canongate, and Abbey Strand—a mile-long corridor linking Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Palace

Descend into Mary King’s Close, a subterranean medieval lane sealed under the City Chambers in 1753. Haunted by myths and ghost stories, this immersive stop evokes Edinburgh’s underworld past .

Stroll south into Greyfriars Kirkyard, filled with tombstones tied to real tales—witchcraft trials, grave robbing, and the famous dog Greyfriars Bobby.

Head west through Grassmarket, once a medieval marketplace and execution site.

Wander through Victoria Street, famed for its colourful façades and boutique charm—rumoured inspiration for Diagon Alley in Harry Potter.
