Explore Edinburgh - 11 Fun Things to Do Along the Royal Mile and Beyond the Old Town

Today we are visiting the city of Edinburgh which was the final stop of our Scottish road trip (full video linked below). The magnificent Edinburgh castle dominates the skyline and can be seen from every direction, but this is just one of many highlights to be found along the Royal Mile in the old town, and beyond.
