Activity itinerary

Victoria street

Some call this street the Diagon Alley of Edinburgh, and it’s easy to see why. The candy-colored shops, restaurants, and flats crowd around the winding street, making it one of the best shopping destinations in all of Old Town.

National Library of Scotland

The library features a permanent display exhibit simply called “Treasures.” It changes all the time, but always displays some of the Library’s most impressive items, with enough rare books to keep any bibliophile entranced—even Hermione Granger.

The Elephant House

The original Elephant House. This is the distinctive orange-red shopfront with gold lettering. Let’s pause in front of this cafe. The Elephant House is commonly called the “birthplace of Harry Potter” since this is where Rowling would often come to sit and write while her daughter napped in the pram.

Cowgate

We’re now walking onto George IV bridge, an elevated street that was completed in 1836 to connect Old Town to the growing south side of Edinburgh. Though you might be expecting a river or lake under the bridge, in fact it crossed over a much older part of the city called Cowgate.

Greyfriars Bobby Statue

Unfortunately, John died of tuberculosis in 1858 and was buried here in Greyfriars Kirkyard. Bobby then took up guard duty on John’s grave and refused to leave, even in the worst weather.

Greyfriars Kirk

There’s also some speculation that this quiet spot in the heart of the city might have been the inspiration for the Godric’s Hollow graveyard, where Harry visits his parents’ graves in Book 7. Either way, you may imagine that scene differently from now on after exploring Greyfriars Kirkyard.
