Overview
Notice for the brave... and the fearful:
If you love to hear the gory, gloomy and spooky stories of a city, this tour is for you!
Get ready to hear some of Edinburgh's most terrifying tales, learn about its most haunting legends and, if you have the gift, you might even meet one of its spooks (we can't guarantee it, but you never know).
It is important to know that this tour is NOT theatrical and does NOT go down into the hidden areas of the city such as Mary King's close or the vaults of Southbridge.
What will you discover on this tour?
- Some of the methods of torture and public executions.
- The alleys and dark corners where the plague of 1645 killed half the population of Edinburgh.
- The story of William Burke and William Hare, serial killers.
- The terrible period of the witchcraft persecutions and how fear and false accusations affected thousands of people in Scotland.
- Stories of some lost souls who still roam the Old Town.
- Edinburgh's connection with the paranormal.
