History, Culture & Architecture Tour of Edinburgh

Experience Days Tours: This three-hour guided walking tour of Edinburgh will fascinate discerning sightseers.

Led by descendants of one of the city’s most influential families, it’s a chance to explore the unique history, culture and architecture of the Royal Mile and Old Town.

Tours begin outside Usher Hall on Lothian Road, a building of special significance to your guides Stuart and Richard.

It was their ancestor Andrew Usher, a successful 19th century whisky distiller, whose donation of £100,000 funded the new concert hall’s construction!

After a brief introduction, they’ll lead you on a three-hour stroll through Edinburgh’s historic Old Town, pausing at various landmarks along the way.

These will include the city’s oldest surviving building, Queen Margaret’s Chapel; Edinburgh Castle, St.

Giles’ Cathedral, Princes Street Gardens, the National Galleries of Scotland, and many more.

Together, these will tell the story of a city built on centuries of struggle and shaped by remarkable characters.

Follow in the footsteps of leaders, writers, philosophers, bodysnatchers, witches and a faithful Skye terrier—and leave feeling enlightened when the tour concludes!
