" We saw four countries and a lot of tours on our vacation but your “Ancient Edinburgh and Rosslyn Chapel Tours” were the best.. Thanks for making Scotland our favorite place to visit.” Marty & Lucy Martindill, Katy,nearHouston, TEXAS

This fascinating tour highlights legends and early Scottish history of Edinburgh , and the order of viewing the sites can vary.

As an additional option there are some beautiful gardens one can visit in the summer months.

In Holyrood Park we view ancient pilgrimage wells and religious ruins on foot.We make a private visit to a unique pre - Reformation well house nearby, followed by a choice of destinations on the outskirts of the city, featuring wells,standing stones, Templar burial stones, Celtic and Roman sacred sites.
Many of these seem to adhere to geometric patterns drawn out by significant ley lines in the landscape.

  Part of the route passes by Craigmillar Castle and the old town of Duddingston, and we are officially permitted to make a circular tour around the beautiful Royal park offering fine views of the coast. This area is of great geological and archaeological interest, as we shall see. We visit a legendary well honoured by the Knights Templar who dedicated it to their patron saint Katherine of Sinai.

Many local people have commented on how much they have learnt of their immediate environs on this tour!.
