Does having a Scottish Explore pass allow you to go through a Fast Track at Edinburgh Castle? I notice on the castle website they are now operating on time slots - how does this impact having a pass? Does a pass holder have to reserve a slot also? I also have my college age daughter arriving in Edinburgh to visit the castle with us. She will not have an Explorer pass, so will need to buy a regular ticket. We have a very small window to see the Castle on a Saturday morning in July. . Can you tell me how best to go about making sure we get into the castle smoothly.
There are a only a few Explorer Pass holders still need to book in advance, but Edinburgh Castle is not one of them.
See the bottom of the page in the attached link which details where this is necessary.
