  • Mercat Cross
    After exploring the closes, we will stop in front of the Mercat Cross. Yes, there is a cute unicorn at the top of it. We will learn what the unicorn meant for Scotland and we'll dive deeper into Scottish folklore.
  • St Giles' Cathedral
    Next to the Mercat cross we will see St. Giles Cathedral. Do you know what gargoyles were used for and how many can you spot above the entrance?
  • Heart of Midlothian
    Can you find the stone heart neart St. Giles Cathedral? Here's the hint: look on the ground! We will talk about the heart, its meaning and history.
  • Writers' Museum
    From St. Giles Cathedral we will take a short walk along the Royal Mile to reach Makar's Court. Here we'll find the Writer's Museum. Can you name Scotland's most famous writers?
  • Castello Di Edimburgo
    From the Writers Museum, we will walk to the esplanade of Edinburgh castle. The castle is one of the oldest buildings in the city! Get ready to hear about kings and queens, battles and sieges.
  • Grassmarket
    From the castle esplanade, we will reach the Grassmarket, a large plaza famous for its pubs. This was a grassy area in the past. Can you guess what used to happen here? Brace yourself!
  • Victoria Street
    Just around the corner from the Grassmarket we will find one of the most picturesque and colourful streets of Edinburgh: Victoria St. We will take some minutes to admire the street and take some pictures.
  • Greyfriars
    A short walk from Victoria Street and through Candlemaker Row, will lead us to one of spookiest sites of the city: the historical graveyard! Here we will recall the stories of bodysnatchers, ghosts and much more! From the gates of the graveyard, we will also see one of oldest schools of the city, George Heriot. Can you believe this school is almost 400 years old?
