Edinburgh Private and personal luxury driving tour
Overview of your Edinburgh tour
St Giles’ Cathedral, the architectural heart of Edinburgh’s legal and spiritual heritage. Here you’ll learn about the Mercat Cross, the Old Tolbooth, and the iconic Heart of Midlothian mosaic. Down the Royal Mile—through Castlehill, Lawnmarket, High Street, Canongate, and Abbey Strand—a mile-long corridor linking Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Palace . Continue east to Canongate, the lower portion of the Mile. Highlights include Canongate Kirk, historic closes and Dunbar Close Garden, plus Writer’s Museum (from outside) and John Knox House/Moubray House—homes of literary and religious significance. Stroll south into Greyfriars Kirkyard, filled with tombstones tied to real tales—witchcraft trials, grave robbing, and the famous dog Greyfriars Bobby. Expect chilling stories and local lore. Head west through Grassmarket, once a medieval marketplace and execution site. Victoria Street, famed for its colourful façades and boutique charm—rumoured inspiration for Diagon Alley in Harry Potter.
