Join me for the second part of our walk along the length of Edinburgh's iconic Royal Mile - as we make our way from the High Street by St. Giles' Cathedral all the way across to the end of the legendary thoroughfare at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
On our walk along the rest of the Royal Mile, we pass yet more fascinating landmarks, including Cockburn Street, Fleshmarket Close, The Halfway House Pub, Tron Kirk, John Knox House, Canongate, Canongate Tolbooth, Canongate Kirk, the statue of Robert Fergusson, Canongate Mercat Cross, Queensberry House, Scottish Parliament Buildings, Arthur's Seat, Abbey Strand, and the Palace of Holyroodhouse.

My great grandmother was born in Duncan’s Close on the Canongate. It was one that was torn down and now the veterans lawn bowling is there. I wish there was somewhere to get information on the closes that are gone.

Thank you, for the great tour, I have watched other walking tours thru Edinburgh, but being narrated this is by far the best one. So nice to know what you are looking at and the history behind it. We are planning a trip this summer, and are looking forward to visiting this beautiful city. 🇨🇦

It was great to see the Half Way House after all these years. That wee pub, along with the Jinglin' Geordie, and several others nearby, have been there, with the same names, since I first ventured into pubs - about 1977. They were great pubs back then and any time I've been back, they're still recognisable. So many pubs, in so many cities, have changed so much in that time that you wouldn't recognise them, or know them by name. Anyone who drank in Edinburtgh in the 70s, 80s, 90s, or later, will know these two and I hope they can beat this current downturn in the pub trade, which has killed-off many famous Scottish watering holes.

Walked it many times, not as easy as it looks and I have to say I was impressed with the way the royal funeral procession walked up it the other day considering how old they were and how cobbled the street is. Their legs must have stinging by the time they got to St Giles.
