The Scottish capital has much to offer your wee brood.
A must-do for Harry Potter fans, this walking tour visits the cafe where JK Rowling wrote the first Potter book and takes you to the locations that inspired scenes and characters in the series. You'll take a trip down the real-life Diagon Alley and have a chance to be sorted outside the school that inspired Hogwarts. And best of all? It's free and requires no bookings — but you're welcome to place a donation into the sorting hat at the end.
For older kids and teens, this interactive experience into the darker side of Scotland's history will keep them well entertained. With 80 minutes of immersive theatre, the stories of the colourful characters of the Edinburgh Dungeon come to life through special effects and thrilling underground rides. You'll even get to smell the stench of Edinburgh before it had a proper sewerage system, and be accused in a modern-day witch hunt.
