Our first visit to Edinburgh - We had a fantastic day tour with Sean. The weather was beautiful. We met at the Scott statue and walked up to Carlton Hill for the spectacular 360 view. Then down to the Royal Palace and the Royal Mile. We stopped off at McGonagall’s‘s pub for some delicious haggis, bonbons chips pints and a whiskey flight. It was a fabulous day!

The walking tour itself was very well organised and gave us the chance to visit some of the most famous landmarks such as Edinburgh Castle and the Royal Mile. Beryl also took us off the beaten track and showed us hidden gems and local insider tips that we would have otherwise missed. It was just wonderful to see Edinburgh through her eyes and experience the history and culture of the city first hand. 🏴✨
