  1. The Royal Mile is one of Europe’s most ancient and famous streets. Along this 1 ¼ mile stretch – a Scot’s mile – crimes have been committed, royals have travelled, and famous folk like Rabbie Burns, Adam Smith and David Hume have met. On this walking tour, I’ll bring some of their stories to life.

About Edinburgh

Edinburgh, Skottlands huvudstad, reser sig på vulkaniska kullar, med ett slott på en klippa, en medeltida stadskärna och en elegant georgiansk New Town.

Edinburgh Castle kröner Castle Rock och förvarar Honours of Scotland, de skotska kronjuvelerna. Därifrån löper Royal Mile nedför Gamla stan, förbi St Giles' Cathedral och ett virrvarr av smala closes, till Holyroodhouse-palatset och det skotska parlamentet. Arthur's Seat, en urgammal vulkan, reser sig ovanför palatset med vida vyer.
