Private Walking Tour: Edinburgh Canongate and Royal Mile
Edinburgh
About
The Canongate is the hidden gem of historic Edinburgh. The lower, less visited part of the Royal Mile used to be Edinburgh’s neighbouring town. Monks and farmers lived here first, then aristocrats in their splendid mansions, and eventually the destitute workers of the industrial age. Like Mary Queen of Scots and Adam Smith before us, we will walk the cobbled streets and discover 900 years’s worth of history.
The tour is family-friendly and wheelchair-accessible. Dogs are welcome.
This is a guided walking tour of the Canongate, entry to the palace and/or any museums is NOT included.
