Your experience
Walk Edinburgh's Old Town from castle to palace with a 1h40 self-guided audio tour across 7 GPS-linked stops.
Getting started
Before you set off, enter the ticket code from your confirmation on the Roamer redemption page while you still have signal. Open the self-guided audio tour in English in your phone browser for instant, app-free access. When you are ready, put on your own earphones and begin walking downhill along Edinburgh's medieval spine at your chosen time.
What to expect
Edinburgh's medieval spine
This self-guided route follows the Old Town ridge from the fortress at the top down toward the royal palace, covering about 2 km at an easy pace. You move between 7 stops that reveal hidden closes and historical sites woven into the Royal Mile.
Features
• The tour explores Edinburgh's medieval spine from the castle to the royal palace, guiding you through closes and kirkyards while you control the pace and can pause whenever you like.
• An interactive GPS map with live position keeps you oriented on the ridge, showing the route and each of the 7 stops along the continuous downhill mile.
• Walking directions between each tour stop lead you through side alleys and squares, so you do not need to navigate on your own.
• You access all content through browser-based access on your smartphone, with no app download required, or via the free Roamer iPhone app if you prefer to walk offline.
• Flexible start time with no group or set arrival time means there is no live guide or schedule to follow, so you can choose early morning, long summer evenings, or any moment that suits you.
• Lifetime access to tour content lets you replay the 1h40 route on future visits, revisit favorite stops, or listen again from home.
Wrapping up
Your route finishes near the royal palace end of the Old Town ridge, where you can continue exploring independently, step inside paid interiors like the castle or palace if you wish, or make your way back through the Royal Mile at your own pace.

• Guided groups: Do not expect a live guide or group, as this tour is designed to be self-guided.
• Tour format: The tour is fully self-guided with no live guide and no group to follow. • Start time: You can start the walk at any time that suits you. • Route details: The route covers 7 stops over about 2 km and takes around 1h40 at an easy pace. • Terrain: The walk follows a continuous downhill mile on hard ground, which can tire knees and ankles. • Rest stops: You can rest on benches in Parliament Square or in the kirkyards along the route. • Weather: Spring to early autumn offers longer daylight and milder weather, but rain and wind are possible year-round. • Best time to go: Early morning is a popular choice for walking the Royal Mile before the main crowds arrive. • Safety: Keep valuables discreet in the crowds on the busy upper Royal Mile. • Respectful behavior: Keep quiet and respectful inside St Giles' Cathedral, the Canongate Kirk, and the kirkyards. • Entry fees: Several interiors, such as the castle, Mary King's Close, and the palace, charge entry fees in pounds.
