Essential Edinburgh

Walki-talki.com has been selling audio walking tours since 2006. We are the most experienced name in digital walking tours.

As the great Scottish poet, Robert Burns once wrote: "Id be mair vauntie o my hap, Douce hingin owre my curple, Than ony ermine ever lap, Or proud imperial purple." No clue? All "Scottish" to you? Didnt think anything rhymed with purple? Then this tour is for you! On this tour we translate Edinburghs colorful history into plain English as we lift the kilt of the city to unveil all the nooks and crannies that make this one of the most intriguing burgs in Europe. Beginning at the boggy banks of Castlehill, this tour takes you through the Medieval Old Town, up the Royal Mile, and onto the Castle as we storm Edinburgh from the bottom up. Och-aye!
