Forget about crowds, schedules or lines! With Pandemic Tours' self-guided experiences your phone is your new private guide.

In this incredible experience, Moira will show you a less-known walk, slightly off the beaten track but nonetheless, one that is steeped in the past and beauty: A Tour to Duddingston Village!

This is a wonderful and informative experience for anyone to enjoy - however a certain level of fitness is required (or you can take a taxi).

Discover how Duddingston Village is a magical slice of history, art, nature, architecture and tales. In these small streets, you'll meet Mary Queen of Scots, Bonnie Prince Charlie, Raeburn and Walter Scott - a beheaded Queen, a would-be King, a famous artist, and a renowned writer. Plus, you will learn about Holyrood Park and the story behind the oldest working Church in Scotland.
