We continue through the atmospheric streets of the Old Town, where your guide will show you many of the city’s most famous historical landmarks.

In this spooky graveyard you will see many recognisable names from the Potter world – this is the site of Tom Riddell’s grave and a number of other names used for JK Rowling’s characters.

You’ll enjoy wonderful views of this beautiful old castle, which plays a huge part in Scottish history as well as inspiring JK Rowling’s Potter Universe.

With its colourful independent shops, overhanging street signs and the cobbled street that twists and turns out of view, it’s easy to see why this is said to be the inspiration for Diagon Alley!
