This Edinburgh walking tour covers the most famous street in the city. Start at the foot of the Edinburgh Castle Esplanade down to the Tron, on the junction with the Bridges for a brief introduction to how Edinburgh's Royal Mile has developed from timbered medieval buildings to the complex street of today.
Follow Angus who will tell you about many of the Mile's famous closes that offer, a quiet retreat from the busy main street. Get a glimpse into the layers of language underlying the present names of many buildings and areas.
Continually altered, repaired, adapted and sometimes restored, the Royal Mile is a living witness to Scottish history since the Middle Ages.
The tour may run an extra five or ten minutes due to crowds or traffic.
What languages were spoken in Scotland throughout the centuries? Through this tour you will find out! Our guide Angus is our very own language expert: speaking 7 languages himself, he is interested in the origins of languages and their evolution!
Profits from this tour will be used to support Ukrainian refugees as they arrive in Edinburgh. Thanks to you we will be able to deliver free walking tours to them as well as gift "Welcome to Edinburgh" goodie bags!
