Wonderful tour guide and tour - Our tour guide was Linda and she was very knowledgeable about the history of Edinburgh. She led us on a good pace up the Royal Mile from Mercat Cross, describing many sites along the way. The walk is uphill, but Linda stopped often to explain the history and took us into the nooks and crannies on the way. Once in Edinburgh Castle she also provided a description of the history of the castle and other sights to see in the castle complex. The views are outstanding from he castle.
