Free and Easy Day Trip to Edinburgh by Rail

Hop on a train from London to Edinburgh and see its main attractions, focusing on the balance between the traditional and contemporary elements of this historic place.

Get a glimpse of the Royal Mile, the succession of streets that form the main thoroughfare of Edinburgh’s Old Town, running from Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Abbey. You can also see the Palace of Holyroodhouse, official Scotland residence of Her Majesty, the Queen and best known as the home of Mary, Queen of Scots. It also briefly served as the headquarters of Bonnie Prince Charlie during the 1745 uprising. The tour will also pass by Greyfriars Bobby, where a fiercely loyal Skye Terrier lay by his master’s grave for fourteen years, leaving only to find food. The tour takes you to Georgian new town, separated from the old town by the green expanse of Princes Street Gardens.

We will also visit Edinburgh Castle, perched on an extinct volcano. Learn its secrets such as the pit-prison beneath the floor of King James’ Birth Chamber as you tour its Royal Apartments and view the Scottish Crown Jewels.
