Ghostly Underground - Small Group Walking Tour

 

A daytime walking tour of Edinburgh’s most haunted sites - we have been uncovering them for over 35 years and know the very best. This tour is perfect for a peek into the city’s ghostly past because things do not only go bump in the night.

The true history of the Edinburgh is terrifying enough – so abandon thoughts of manufactured frights and make-believe. The skill is in the storytelling: the city witnessed the deeds of mischief-makers and murderers, vagrants, and torturers. It is one of Europe's most haunted cities, where restless spirits still tread.

You will follow your cloaked guide through the shadowy closes of Edinburgh’s Old Town. These are dark streets untouched by daylight, filled with a strange silence, their damp walls carrying only the faintest echo of the crowds on the high street you have left behind.

With the scene set, you will descend into the quiter depths of the city – and listen in horror to its dark and sinister side. Torture. Murder. Hangings. From body snatchers to real-life characters of the city, you will be gripped by the true tales that lie hidden beneath Edinburgh’s grand exterior.

Watch out for a cold breath on the back of the neck, a whisper, a flicker – then silence. It is even more chilling for being absolutely real: there are no tricks or jump scares on our ghost tours.
