Activitate Edinburgh, Scotland
Discover the profound duality of Edinburgh's Royal Mile. While the main thoroughfare showcases grand processions and royal power, the narrow, hidden closes branching off it reveal a secret world of cramped tenements, unsolved murders, and the resilient lives of ordinary people. Join Max and local historian Elisa as they guide you down the spine of the Old Town, from the imposing fortress of Edinburgh Castle to the grand Palace of Holyroodhouse, uncovering the architectural evolution and dramatic social stratification of this ancient city.
