£10 OFF! Edinburgh Hidden Gems Walking Tour with Haggis, Whisky & Fudge
Discover the Edinburgh most visitors miss - with a taste of Scotland along the way!
Step beyond the famous sights and uncover the stories, characters and hidden corners that make Edinburgh so fascinating.
Join our Historical Gems Walking Tour and explore the atmospheric streets, secret closes, tucked-away courtyards and historic corners of Edinburgh’s Old Town, brought to life by a charismatic character guide.
And history cannot be on an empty stomach!
Your journey through Edinburgh’s past comes with a delicious wee taste of Scotland, including traditional haggis, neeps and tatties, a warming dram of Scottish whisky, and handmade fudge and tablet.
Discover Edinburgh’s hidden history
Wander through atmospheric closes and courtyards as your guide introduces you to fascinating people and stories woven into the city’s history.
Hear tales of Mary, Queen of Scots, literary legends including Robert Burns, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and J.K. Rowling, and discover locations connected with the hit TV series Outlander.
You’ll see Edinburgh from a different perspective - beyond the usual tourist trail and into the stories that have shaped this remarkable city.
A Wee Taste of Scotland
During your tour, you’ll stop at MacKays on the Mile, a welcoming Old Town establishment tucked away in one of the Royal Mile’s ancient closes. MacKays celebrates Scottish produce and has an impressive collection of Scottish malt whiskies.
You’ll enjoy:
- A traditional taster of haggis fritter, neeps and tatties
- A warming dram of Glenlivet whisky
- Vegetarian haggis is available
- Time to relax, savour the flavours and soak up the atmosphere
Whether you’re completely new to haggis or already a fan, it’s a chance to try one of Scotland’s most iconic dishes in the heart of Edinburgh.
And there’s more!
Next, you'll visit The Fudge House of Edinburgh on the historic Royal Mile and enjoy tasters of delicious handmade Scottish fudge and traditional tablet.
The Fudge House has been making traditional fudge in Edinburgh’s Old Town since 1949, using a small-batch, slow-cooling method.
You can also see how the fudge is made and browse the tempting selection of treats on offer.
Consider it a very sweet investigation into Scottish culture!
