Description

Step into the shadows of Edinburgh and embark on a chilling ghost tour through Scotland’s legendary capital. Guided by a character from the city’s infamous past, you’ll wander the historic Old Town, uncovering hidden wynds and hearing tales that have haunted these streets for centuries.

Your journey begins along the Royal Mile, where narrow alleys conceal secrets of murder, witchcraft, and execution. Feel the atmosphere thicken as your guide brings Edinburgh’s dark history to life with terrifying true stories and eerie details from over 400 years ago.

Next, you’ll visit Greyfriars Kirkyard, a graveyard renowned as one of the world’s most haunted. Here, you’ll learn about the restless spirits and infamous figures who linger among the weathered tombstones, sending chills down your spine as night falls.

The adventure continues beneath the city, deep in the Edinburgh Vaults. Completed in 1788, these underground chambers once hid taverns and illicit activities, including the grisly deeds of Burke and Hare. Experience the vaults’ unsettling atmosphere, complete with unexplained sounds and strange smells.

This 75-minute evening tour is suitable for families and welcomes groups of up to 15. Tours are conducted in English, and guests are encouraged to arrive 10 minutes early. Don’t miss your chance to explore Edinburgh’s haunted heart—check availability and book your spot now!
