We were given a fascinating tour of the Royal Mile. Good historical insights, brilliantly presented with verve and humour. Inspired us to look at the Castle in a more informed way and to look at our history of Scotland more sympathetically. Above all, it was enjoyable. Thanks to Sam, our Mercat guide.
