Taking centre-stage the Edinburgh course features famous Auld Reekie landmarks paying tribute to some of the Capital's most Instagrammable spots including the Greyfriars Bobby statue and the Scott Monument.

Edinburgh’s street food superstars, The Pitt are also on hand to feed hungry guests with a new food menu that boasts plenty of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options.
