Explore Edinburgh, Scotland's historic and cosmopolitan capital city from the air, on this exclusive 30 minute sightseeing tour in a private executive Jet Ranger helicopter! The seat of the Scottish Government, the Scottish Parliament, Scotland's highest courts and a wide variety of historic and cultural attractions including Edinburgh Castle, the Royal Mile, Arthur's Seat in Holyrood Park, Murrayfield (Scotland's largest stadium), and of course the globally renowned annual Fringe Festival for comedy, theatre and arts that is held every August, Edinburgh - or Auld Reekie as it's known in these parts - is certainly not short of things to see, both on the ground and also from the air. And as you cruise to an altitude of 1000 ft, not only will you see the city, but you'll also take in the majestic twin Forth Rail and Road Bridges at Queensferry that spans across the Firth of Forth estuary. And your on-board pilot will ensure you don't miss a second of the sights over the intercom headset. This is one helicopter sightseeing tour to which you'll be saying "Haste ye back"!
