Daily Tour 10:30 (Mon- Sat) - May 2026

Book here to join a volunteer guide for a 45 min - 1 hour glimpse into the history, heraldry and life of our historic Cathedral and Thistle Chapel.

Groups will be a maximum of 10 people per tour. Space will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

Bookings are by donation - pay as much or as little as you like, online or on the day. Please book together as a household, if you can.

If you have any access needs, please email [email protected] to let us know, with your tour date as the subject line. Alternatively, call 0131 226 0674. We will do everything in our power to accommodate your needs.

Please arrive 5 minutes before the tour starts. If you are late, we may give your slot away to someone else, so we cannot guarantee you will be able to join.

Please let us know if you cannot make the tour, as demand is high and so we will offer your space to someone else.

Group tickets are capped at 5, if you wish to bring more than 5 people on a tour please contact us directly. Thank you.
