Did you know that Thomas Riddell has a grave in a cemetery in Edinburgh? Or that the white stag is a symbol of the city? We can never know what inspires an author, as their creativity comes from many different sources, but during a walking tour of the Old Town, you will discover all the legends and hidden spots of Edinburgh which surrounded JK Rowling while she lived here in 1993.

Tour Highlights:

• Greyfriars Kirkyard: Venture into the atmospheric Greyfriars Kirkyard, where gravestones bearing familiar names like Thomas Riddell and William McGonagall will spark your wizarding imagination.

• Victoria Street: Wander down the charming Victoria Street, a vibrant and winding thoroughfare which might have inspired Diagon Alley. Marvel at the eclectic shops and colourful facades.

• Grassmarket: Executions took place in this market from the 15th century, and they may have inspired a famous beheaded ghost or two!

• Royal Mile: Discover the core of Edinburgh’s Old Town and how its small streets and structure influenced the wizarding world.
