Edinburgh & Royal Mile Doughnut Tour

Our adventure begins at Kilted Donut, nestled in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle in the historic Grassmarket area. Once the city’s main market square in the 14th century, this charming spot is now a blend of history and local foodie delights—a perfect starting point for our journey. We’ll then stroll up the famous Victoria Street, a cobblestone curve lined with vibrant shops and cafes. Known for its magical charm, this iconic street offers a unique glimpse into Edinburgh's creativity and history. Next, we’ll stop at a cozy local bakery for a classic Scottish traybake, a buttery treat with deep Scottish roots. It’s the perfect snack to savor as we continue our exploration. We’ll then visit a charming local café, known for its expertly crafted donuts and warm ambiance. With freshly brewed coffee and sweet creations, it’s a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike. Our journey concludes at Mimi's Little Bakehouse, a cozy spot famed for its European-inspired pastries and buttery baked goods. From flaky croissants to delicate pastries, it’s a delicious end to our sweet journey. We’ll wrap up at the Scott Monument, a Gothic landmark honoring Sir Walter Scott. Offering stunning views and a connection to Edinburgh’s literary history, this impressive structure provides the perfect conclusion to your tour. ​This tour combines iconic landmarks, local history, and sweet treats, offering a delicious and unforgettable way to experience Edinburgh.
