Itinerary
The cradle of Edinburgh. 5000 years ago people already lived here.
We follow the main street of the Old Town and get to know the curious characters who lived and worked here.
We stop outside the Writers’ Museum (visit not included) and find out how Sir Walter Scott "invented" Edinburgh tourism.
What would this great sceptic think about all the people who rub his toe every day?
This heart in the cobblestones is the opposite of romantic!
The venerable cathedral that technically isn’t one.
News broadcast, Amazon, and Netflix of the olden days.
Townhall with a famous horse and a dark past.
Every dishonest merchant's nightmare.
Did the great reformer really live here? Who knows! But we can at least talk about gold coins and running water.
How would you have called a cab in the 18th century...?
The pub on the corner is called "The World's End", and people used to take it literally!

About Edinburgh
Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, rises on volcanic hills, with a castle on a crag, a medieval Old Town and an elegant Georgian New Town.
Edinburgh Castle crowns Castle Rock and keeps the Honours of Scotland, the Scottish crown jewels. From there, the Royal Mile runs downhill through the Old Town, past St Giles' Cathedral and a warren of narrow closes, to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Scottish Parliament. Arthur's Seat, an ancient volcano, rises above the palace with sweeping views.
