Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland since the 15th Century, stands on seven hills creating a dramatic skyline. The Edinburgh Open Top Tour is a great way to see the most exciting attractions in the capital.

Compare Edinburgh's Old Town, where families lived in cramped conditions and rubbish was thrown out of the windows, to the elegant Georgian New Town with its three main streets and a square at either end. Hear about the hangings that took place in the Grassmarket as you marvel at the impenetrable Castle Rock above you and hear about the attempts to capture Edinburgh Castle. See the Royal Mile which joins Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyrood House.

The tours have a running commentary in nine languages and a Hop on Hop off facility. Tours run every 15-30 minutes.
