Craigmillar Castle guided walking tour  

Edinburgh’s best-kept secret, Craigmillar is one of Scotland’s best preserved medieval castles. A principle setting in the Mary Queens of Scots story, this tour will take you back in time to a beautiful setting at the very edge of the city.

On this guided walk, we will climb the tower house, one of Scotland’s oldest, which houses fascinating features like a fine great hall and a prison. Admire the views from the tower across Edinburgh – spot Holyrood Park and Edinburgh Castle among other landmarks.

Get lost in Craigmillar’s nooks and crannies and look for the remains of an unusual fishpond in the grounds – it’s laid out in the shape of a letter P.
