In this incredible experience, Moira will show you a less-known walk, slightly off the beaten track but nonetheless, one that is steeped in the past and beauty: A Tour to Duddingston Village!
This is a wonderful and informative experience for anyone to enjoy - however a certain level of fitness is required (or you can take a taxi).
Discover how Duddingston Village is a magical slice of history, art, nature, architecture and tales.
