Product Info

Begin your tour at the National Library of Scotland, where you’ll explore the true birthplace of Harry Potter, how J. K. Rowling began writing the books, and what is believed to have inspired Diagon Alley.

From here, head into the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Discover the gruesome history of public executions, enjoy one of the city’s best views of Edinburgh Castle, and wind through historic streets to the famously haunted Greyfriars Kirkyard.

Among the atmospheric gravestones and mausoleums, meet the legendary Greyfriars Bobby, the loyal dog who captured the nation’s heart. See four gravestones, including Thomas Riddell’s, believed by fans to have inspired character names in Harry Potter.

Leaving the graveyard, step back into Edinburgh’s darker past with stories of the notorious graverobbers.

Towards the end of the tour, visit two cafés where J.K. Rowling spent time writing the early chapters of her books, before finishing at the Edinburgh City Chambers. Fancy trying a deep-fried Mars bar or haggis? Just ask.
