Meeting Point

地点

Tours depart from outside the front of ‘The Witchery Restaurant,’ located near Edinburgh Castle at 352 Castlehill (Royal Mile), EH1 2NF. ** Please note that from Monday 31st July 2023 to Saturday 26th August 2023 (except Sundays 6, 13, 20 August), all tours will depart from the supplier’s shop, located at 84 West Bow (Victoria Street), EH1 2HH. This is due to the annual Military Tattoo event and dress rehearsals taking place on Castlehill. Since this event will not be held on Sundays during this period, on those days, tours will depart from the usual meeting point – outside the front of ‘The Witchery Restaurant’ on Castlehill. Also on 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th July 2023 there are music concerts at Edinburgh Castle so the tours will depart from the supplier’s shop, located at 84 West Bow (Victoria Street), EH1 2HH.
