Doomed, Dead and Buried - Small Group Walking Tour

 

Explore the haunted streets with experience no other tour company can offer, then head to the Canongate graveyard, where the spirits of the dead await.

It might be something to do with the change in temperature. Or the perpetual darkness. Or the ever-smaller closes, stretching beyond the weak beam of a torch. Whatever the reason, there is something unsettling about Edinburgh's shadowy closes – and your expert guide will reveal the troubling tales on this evening walking tour.

Hear the grimmest of tales, cannibals, body snatchers. Deals with the Devil.

And that is before we head underground.

A walk along dim streets to the Canongate graveyard will bring you to the resting place of the city’s most famous figures: Adam Smith, the father of economics; David Rizzio, confidant of Mary Queen of Scots; and James Douglas, 3rd Marquess of Queensberry – the infamous cannibal of the Canongate.

On this ghost tour you will enjoy plenty of tales of dastardly deeds and ghostly sightings in the atmospheric locations.
