Ride in coach comfort from the port, across Scotland's scenic heartland, to reach the city of Edinburgh. On a guided walking tour, you'll stroll down the capital city's famous Royal Mile, said to be Edinburgh's oldest street. Discover stunning architecture, viewing Edinburgh Castle in Castle Hill, where the crown jewels are housed, to Lawnmarket, the oldest part of Old Town, to High Street and St. Giles Cathedral (St. Giles is Scotland's patron saint), and down to Canongate to view Scottish Parliament and the Palace of the Holyrood House, where Mary Queen of Scots often stayed. After the tour as you stroll on your own, you can learn about more about Scottish history and heritage through a visit to The Museum of Edinburgh, browse the shops, including the Royal Mile Gallery for maps, old and new; Royal Mile Whiskies, for serious single malts; and Crest of Edinburgh for kilts, jewelry and gifts, just to name a few, then stop in at one of the many pubs that line both sides of the Royal Mile.
