Day 6 Edinburgh

Edinburgh Royal Mile & Evening Ghost Tour
Together with the guide you start a 4-hour tour of the Old Town and explore this culturally and historically important part of the city. Today you walk along the famous Royal Mile which connects two royal residences - the Castle and the palace of Holyrood House.

Before you visit the Edinburgh Castle you hear a comprehensive history insight from your guide and visit the castle independently. Here you may see the Honours (Crown Jewels) of Scotland, the famous 15th century gun Mons Meg, the One O' Clock Gun inside the castle.

Your guided walking tour ends before you visit the castle and after exploring the castle you may spend time in the city on your own or return to the hotel.


In the evening, meet your private guide and see the dark streets untouched by daylight, filled with a strange silence and listen in horror to its dark and sinister side. From body snatchers to real-life characters of the city, you are gripped by the true tales that lie hidden beneath Edinburgh’s streets. 


Today you also walk along dim streets to the Canongate graveyard - the resting place of the city’s most famous figures: Adam Smith, the father of economics; David Rizzio, confidant of Mary Queen of Scots; and James Douglas, 3rd Marquess of Queensberry – the infamous cannibal of the Canongate. On this ghost tour you hear plenty of tales of dastardly deeds and ghostly sightings in the atmospheric locations.
