Rute

1. If you’d like to go deep into the Royal Mile’s rich history, this self-guided audio tour is a fabulous way to do it – showing you where history was made, and taking you back in your imagination to the moments that echo through Edinburgh’s story. We begin outside St Giles’ Cathedral, where we’ll lay the foundations, discussing old Scotland’s Law, Church and State – with many a quirky anecdote thrown in! Here we’ll meet James VI, Oliver Cromwell and John Knox, and we’ll hear about a very unusual marriage tradition! As we continue, you’ll hear much more about the rises and falls of the Stuart dynasty, culminating in Bonnie Prince Charlie’s final campaign in 1745. Then we’re off to discover the ‘closes’ (alleyways) of the Royal Mile and the characters that adorn their history – from Sir Walter Scott and Rabbie Burns to Jenny Geddes and Edinburgh’s greatest society beauty, Susannah Kennedy. If you like to go a little deeper with your history, you’ll love this fascinating audio tour!

About Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Skotlands hovedstad, rejser sig på vulkanske bakker, med et slot på en klippe, en middelalderlig gammel bydel og en elegant georgiansk New Town.

Edinburgh Castle kroner Castle Rock og opbevarer Honours of Scotland, de skotske kronjuveler. Derfra løber Royal Mile ned ad den gamle bydel, forbi St Giles' Cathedral og et virvar af smalle closes, til Holyroodhouse-paladset og det skotske parlament. Arthur's Seat, en oldgammel vulkan, rejser sig over paladset med vid udsigt.
