Know before you go
- The roof is not accessible in poor weather conditions
- On this tour you will be guided around Edinburgh castle, with specific stops assigned by the castle authorities
- After the tour, you will have plenty of time to explore the castle and visit every building (Museums, Royal Palace, prisons, and much more). We can not access those buildings during the tour, but the tour will still be carried out within the castle grounds.
- Backpack up to 30L are allowed.
- The castle is a military base, so no tourist company can start on the esplanade of Edinburgh Castle.
