The residents and staff of the castle are looking forward to the visit from a member of the nobility. The Duke is eager to tour the castle where he lived for a while as a boy. Mr and Mrs Reid, the new owners, are only too pleased to show him the recent renovations. Meanwhile, the downstairs staff are helping the cook to prepare one of her renowned lavish dinners.

You are invited to tour the castle alongside the distinguished guest and eavesdrop into the servants’ conversations!

Edinburgh Living History are our multi award- winning team, who interpret the history of the castle in a variety of entertaining ways in Edwardian costume - bringing alive the history of the house. Each performance is carefully devised by Edinburgh Living History to be as historically accurate as possible and include a touch of drama and a soupçon of humour. You will walk through the Castle on a special tour watching the performance unfold. Why not make a day of it at Lauriston and have some lunch at Mimi’s café on site.
