SaveMagic Awaits in Edinburgh's Old Town
Harry Potter fans heading to Scotland can trace the real-life inspirations behind J.K. Rowling's iconic series on a guided walking tour through the heart of Edinburgh. Scheduled for Friday, 11 September 2026 at 12:30, this outdoor excursion offers visitors a spellbinding journey through the city's historic streets and hidden corners.
Starting at the Duke of Wellington Equestrian Statue on 9 Waterloo Place, the route winds through Edinburgh's famous Old Town. Key stops include Greyfriars Kirkyard, known for its eerie gravestones, and the picturesque, cobbled curve of Victoria Street, which famously served as the real-life vision for Diagon Alley. Participants will also visit the café where Rowling began writing the saga, explore the secret chambers of the Department of Magic, and finish at The Balmoral, the historic hotel where the final chapter was penned.
