Scotland — The City of Edinburgh


Edinburgh, the Scottish capital, is a world Heritage site and two cities in one, the modern and the medieval, with some of the finest examples of 16th and 17th century homes. We explore the back streets in search of the City’s origins and history from the stone wall built by the early tribes to the craggy hill-top fortress, past the site of public executions, to a meeting with Mary Queen of Scots and a visit to Holyroodhouse. Our modern day attractions included an underground sea odyssey, a stay in a hotel that was once a famous Scottish newspaper, and a murder and mystery tour that reveals haunting evidence of witches.
