Overview

Explore Edinburgh’s most visited attraction - the magnificent Edinburgh Castle - with this immersive walking tour that includes an exclusive, skip-the-line entry.

With a history of around 3000 years, the historic castle and fortress has been integral to Scottish history. From being King Malcolm Canmore’s royal residence to being a military stronghold for the Scottish Kingdom and its involvement in the Wars of Scottish independence, the Castle is engulfed in a tumultuous yet intriguing past. While regaling you with all the stories of Edinburgh’s numero uno attraction, we will take you on a trail through the breathtaking artefacts and sites in the castle including the famous One O'Clock Gun from World War II, the giant 15th-century Mons Meg siege gun and the stunning Crown Jewels.

Once you have relished a comprehensive journey through Edinburgh Castle, you can take your time to explore it at your own pace, deep diving further into its bewitching yesteryears.
