Edinburgh Castle

Built in the 11th-century, Edinburgh Castle has been home to the likes of Mary Queen of Scots as well as many other royals. On this tour, you will be able to admire the 16th-century Great Hall, where parties and feasts took place, as well as learning about the darker history of the Kings and Queens who lived in the castle.

You cannot fail to be impressed by Edinburgh Castle as it dominates the city skyline, from its seat on the extinct volcano of Castle Rock. As you walk along the castle's promenade, you will get to hear about its origins as well as stories about the many sieges of the castle over the years. 

Upon entering the castle, you will walk through the Castle complex, where your guide, with their in-depth knowledge of the Castle's main buildings and attractions, including the Argyle Battery and One O'clock Gun, the Hospital Square and Western Panorama, will paint a picture of what it was like all those years ago.

You will also get to see the Castle dungeons and military prison, the Black Banquet and Thomas Randolph's daring castle raid. Encounter St Margret's Chapel, Mons Meg, the Crown Square, and The Honors of Scotland but to name a few. This experience really is a step back in time that will leave you captivated.
