A journey through Scottish history

From being the most visited castle in Scotland to being the inspiration behind the backdrop of Harry Potter, Edinburgh Castle has one too many crowns to its name. Take this chance to dive into 3,000 years of Scottish history at the castle with a guided tour, and save yourself the hassle of bypassing the often crowded entry lines with fast-track entry. Starting from the iconic Royal Mile, your experienced guide will lead you to the castle esplanade and enrich you with facts about the Castle's former residents.

Old buildings to glittering jewels

Once inside the castle, discover the tale of Scotland's kings and queens and explore hidden gems like the Chapel of Saint Margaret, the oldest building in Edinburgh. Step into the canine cemetery, a testament to Scotland's military mascots, appreciating the service of soldier animals. Marvel at the Honours of Scotland housing the oldest crown jewels in British Isle, and the Stone of Destiny that was used in the inauguration of kings.
