Why choose this Edinburgh tour ?
On this daytime ghost tour you’ll hear of villains and victims from the city’s dark past. There will be stories of those who haunt our shadowed streets — criminals, murderers and unsuspecting innocents — all whilst travelling to the very places they lived… and for some, met their untimely end.
Starting at the Mercat Cross, a place with mixed history of horror and entertainment, you’ll hear tales of the restless souls set loose in the city, all whilst remaining above ground in Edinburgh’s Old Town.
The Royal Mile may be picturesque, but there is more to its streets than meets the eye. Led by our cloaked Storyteller you’ll explore the difficult and grim lives of those living amongst the cobbled closes…
This tour transports you to 1800s Edinburgh: clues hidden in stonework, gruesome spectacles of punishments and deadly consequences and stories of those whose torment continued into the grave.
