About

Discover the hidden history of one of Scotland’s most beautiful landscapes.

At Excalibur Tours, we want to share the stories that shaped Edinburgh in centuries past. We provide a range of tours of Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat. These guided walks are led by Dr Nathan Hood, a former lecturer at the University of Edinburgh in medieval history, religion and culture. He has an in-depth knowledge of the Celtic, Roman and medieval history of Scotland’s capital and a passion for its ancient legends. Bringing an enthusiasm for Scottish history and academic expertise, Dr Hood’s tours offer insight into the lives of those who lived in Edinburgh two thousand years ago, both regarding the ways in which they saw the world and the objects that they have left behind. Moreover, on guided walks Dr Hood shares his expertise concerning the development of the legend of King Arthur and its ancient connections with Edinburgh.

Led by an expert tour guide in a stunning setting, Excalibur Tours’s guided walks are the best way to see Arthur’s Seat and Holyrood Park.
