St Giles Cathedral is the High Kirk (principal place of worship) of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh and as one of the most notable landmarks in the city can hardly be described as a hidden gem. However, few people know that during August, St Giles offer rooftop tours for small groups – booking details are on the website.
For
those who prefer to keep their feet on the ground, the volunteer
guides
are
on duty each day to welcome visitors, answer questions and conduct
guided tours on request.
Throughout the
summer, there are regular free lunchtime concerts from visiting
artists.
Despite its central
location, the Cathedral Cafe is rarely busy. Handy for a quiet
coffee and cake but anything more substantial is quite expensive
(tip: venture down the Royal Mile to Carrubbers
which is half the price).
