Led by either the holder of a PhD in Scottish history or a guide with decades of experience providing historic tours in Scotland’s capital, this 90-minute tour is a fascinating journey through Edinburgh’s celebrated Old Town. Revel in the majesty of the famous Royal Mile with its stunning architecture, but also visit the secluded closes and courts lying just off the High Street and discover their dramatic stories. Find out about the world famous poets, novelists, philosophers and inventors who called this neighbourhood home but also the notorious thieves, murderers and bodysnatchers who stalked the streets after dark. The tour includes a trip through Canongate Kirkyard and a visit to our underground vaults below South Bridge, where you will find out how it came to be and who used to live there.

Het was goed verzorgd en Faye vertelde vol enthousiasme. De 1,5 uur waren zo om. Veel interessante wetenswaardigheden en zorgzaam voor de (grote) groep. Echt een aanrader!

Very nice and knowledgeable tour guide. Loved the sarcasm and hit the spot with our teenagers. You should be comfortable to walk a bit though if you book the tour

Our tour began at 21:15, the perfect time to roam the looming monuments, dark alleyways and deserted graveyards. Dr O told spellbinding tales of witches, depravity and squalor peppered with top facts of historical details and modern hauntings. The 75mins flew by! Thoroughly entertaining but still safe for those who scare easily.
