EDINBURGH IN A DAY 

Discover Scotland’s Capital City

Edinburgh is the perfect blend of old and new worlds. Steeped in fascinating history, vibrant culture, incredible literary heritage and architectural gems, to name just a few. 

 

The city is fondly known as “Auld Reekie” meaning “Old Smokey” for the smoke that once belched out the chimneys in the over populated narrow high-rise buildings. The iconic skyline is dominated by Edinburgh Castle, perched atop an ancient volcanic rock overlooking the Old and New Towns. 

 

We start the day with a guided city tour in the vehicle, followed by an afternoon guided visit at your choice of attraction or place of special interest. With an array of incredible places to visit there’s no shortage to choose from. 

 

As a starter for five, these are the city’s most popular attractions:

 

→ Edinburgh Castle

→ Palace of Holyrood House

→ St Giles Cathedral

If you prefer to meander and absorb the city’s neighbourhoods and culture:
