ABOUT THIS JOURNEY

Discover more as you travel through Edinburgh

Most visitors meet Edinburgh here, among the stone buildings and narrow closes of the Old Town. But I'm about to take you somewhere quite different. Over this journey, watch what happens outside the window. The grand historic centre gives way to neighbourhoods, football grounds, old industries, another town entirely, and eventually the sea. It's all Edinburgh now. It wasn't always.
