Your journey begins in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, where centuries-old cobblestones lead you through narrow closes and grand public squares. As you stroll, stories unfold — of royal intrigue at Holyrood, of Enlightenment thinkers and rebellious Jacobites, of literary greats like Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson. Ghosts of the past linger in the alleyways, and your guide knows just where to find them.
You’ll ascend to the crown jewel of the city — Edinburgh Castle — perched dramatically on volcanic rock. Explore its royal chambers, ancient battlements, and legendary artefacts including the Crown Jewels and Stone of Destiny.

Around midday, enjoy a traditional Scottish lunch at a local favourite. Think haggis, neeps, and tatties — or choose from seasonal, refined alternatives — all paired with a dram of whisky or a local ale. Dietary preferences can be accommodated.
In the afternoon, discover Edinburgh’s vibrant cultural scene from a local’s perspective. Pop into historic pubs for craft beer tastings, uncover tucked-away architectural gems, and enjoy stories that don’t make the guidebooks.
Conclude your experience with a sophisticated chocolate and beer pairing at Against the Grain — a celebration of Scotland’s growing artisan food scene.
