This April, characters from Edinburgh Castle’s past will be performing in this mighty, historic fortress, and sharing some tales from their past.
Discover stories from some of Scotland’s most turbulent times, learn how people lived in the past, and what may have taken place at the castle.

Living History takes place at Edinburgh Castle daily from 05 to 20 April 2025 and is included in site admission. Tickets can be booked on Edinburgh Castle’s website.
Similar performance events also run at other Historic Environment Scotland attractions in the Lothians area, including Blackness Castle, Craigmillar Castle and Tantallon Castle.
