Edinburgh guided sightseeing tour

Edinburgh Castle, the historical and emotional heart of the city, is just one of the many sights you will see on this tour, led by a licensed professional guide. Make your way along the Royal Mile, the main thoroughfare of the 16th and 17th centuries. It's actually one mile and 107 yards long from Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyrood House! As you make your way along cobbled streets, you'll see a handful of the several thousand buildings officially protected in Edinburgh because of their architectural or historic importance. The 200-foot spire of the Sir Walter Scott Monument soars above the East Princes Street Gardens. Grand figures from Scottish history adorn its heights, make sure you also look down--the figure below the marble statue is Scott's favorite dog, Maida.

Make your way to the end of the strip to Parnell Square, an antique scape of red brick townhouses and classic Irish theaters.
