Let us send a few shivers up your spine on this late evening, 75 minute, ghost tour of Edinburgh’s Old Town. The history of Scotland’s capital is one not just made up of royalty, inventors, writers and scholars but also murderers, witches, bodysnatchers even cannibals. Allow one of our costumed guides, who play one such roguish former citizen, to enlighten and frighten you for the evening. They’ll take you through the winding closes and darkened courts of the Old Town, all the while telling about the horrific events which took place there. Following that the you will journey to perhaps Scotland’s most haunted graveyard, Greyfriars Kirkyard. For the last part of the tour you’ll be taken down into our decidedly sinister underground vaults below South Bridge. This tour is perfect for lovers of scary stories and the bloodier side of Scotland’s history but is more relaxed in tone than our later extreme paranormal tour.

The story told by the red witch is very engaging. She was very entertaining and the history details was a bonus. I recommend this to anyone that like the dark side. The vaults are the coolest.

Ann Martin had so much fun giving the tour it guaranteed that everyone on it was going to have a good time. From jumps to laughs, this tour is recommended for all ages. A dark history unveiled and just enough spook to send some tingles up your spine, but won’t keep you up at night…unless one of the ghosts happened to have followed you home….
