Meeting Point
The tour starts outside the Royal Scottish Academy on the Mound, facing Princes Gardens East. It is a large open space next to where Hanover Street meets Princes Street. Please note that from mid-November until mid-January, this open space and Princes Gardens East are occupied by a Christmas market. This can affect the first three stops. You can still enter and use the route as planned, or walk on Princes street if the park looks too busy.
