We continue through the atmospheric Old Town, stopping at Greyfriars Kirkyard which is home to Tom Riddle’s Grave and passing by the Elephant Café where JK Rowling sat for many hours dreaming up her wizarding world! 

Get amazing views of Edinburgh Castle on our way to Victoria Street – said to be the inspiration for a very famous wizarding alley – and we finish near Edinburgh City Chambers where you’ll learn about JK Rowling’s impact on the city.
