Perfect for families with young children, this one-hour walking tour introduces little travelers to Edinburgh’s historic Old Town through stories, legends, and playful activities. The journey begins along the Royal Mile, where travelers search for unicorns and thistles while uncovering the legends behind Scotland’s national symbols.

Step into the city's hidden closes and wynds to hear how Edinburgh once looked and smelled, and help clean it up with a burst of soap bubbles. In Greyfriars Kirkyard, meet Bobby, the loyal pup who became a local legend, and solve a fun puzzle to rebuild his statue.

This lighthearted tour mixes storytelling, scavenger hunts, and hands-on fun, making it an ideal way for kids to explore Edinburgh without long walks or grown-up history lectures.
