Start your tour with a visit to Calton Hill, also known as Monument Hill, a fantastic spot to look over Edinburgh. From here, you’ll be able to see Edinburgh Castle, Leith, the Old Town, and the New Town.
Next, venture into Dean Village, a true hidden gem, where cobbled streets and quaint houses sit on the banks of the Water of Leith. Historically, the village milled water and grains, and you can still spot many of the remains if you know where to look.
Pass by the New Town, built in the 1700s to give the wealthy a place to stay out-with the crowded streets of the city. All through the area, you’ll see typical examples of Georgian Townhouses and architecture and it’s now classed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
As you travel through Edinburgh, get a spectacular view of Arthur’s Seat. As you pass by, your guide will also point out the New Scottish Parliament Building and Holyrood Palace – the official residence for King Charles III here in Scotland.
In Leith, see both sides of Edinburgh with its ports and docks. It’s also in Leith where Mary Queen of Scots’ first arrived back in Scotland after her time in France.
The Old Town of Edinburgh is perhaps the most famous. Here you’ll get to see Edinburgh Castle, the cobbled streets of the Royal Mile and maybe St Giles’ Cathedral.
