Your Experience
Are you ready to uncover a side of Edinburgh most visitors miss?
Join our Historical Gems Walking Tour, a delightful journey through the city’s lesser-known corners, led by a charismatic character guide who will bring Edinburgh’s hidden history to life.
Wander through secret closes, tucked away courtyards, and atmospheric gardens as you explore stories of Mary Queen of Scots, Robert Rabbie Burns, and literary legends like J.K. Rowling and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. You’ll even visit iconic Outlander filming locations along the way.
Along your adventure, you’ll be treated to one of Scotland’s most iconic dishes... A tower-shaped taster of traditional Scottish haggis fritter on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes and mashed neeps with a whisky cream sauce (this can be made vegetarian). This will be paired perfectly and washed down with a warming dram of Glenlivet whisky, all served within the cosy atmosphere of MacKays On The Mile – one of Old Town Edinburgh’s most characterful and welcoming spots.
And the indulgence doesn’t end there! Thanks to the iconic Fudge House on the historic Canongate, you’ll also receive a delicious sample of handmade Scottish fudge and melt-in-the-mouth Tablet. Consider it a sweet tooth interrogation!
See this city like never before! A charming experience for both curious locals and visitors alike.
