Overview
Experience the three faces of Edinburgh: the literary, the scientific, and the supernatural. This immersive walking tour is the ultimate introduction to the Scottish capital, a city where the boundary between history and legend is famously thin. From the heights of the Royal Mile to the depths of haunted graveyards, discover why this UNESCO World Heritage site inspires writers and explorers alike.
What Awaits You in the Shadows:
• The Royal Mile’s Secrets: Walk the city’s medieval backbone. Learn the evolution of the kilt and tartan, and uncover the true origins of whisky and haggis as we climb toward the silhouette of Edinburgh Castle.
• The Hidden Closes: Step off the main street into narrow alleys to witness the unique urbanism that hid centuries of scientific discoveries and gruesome murders.
• Greyfriars Kirkyard: Visit the territory of the loyal dog Bobby. But beware—this cemetery is home to more than just memories. Encounter stories of paranormal phenomena, religious turmoil, and the secrets of the Scottish thistle.
• Beyond the Legend: We mix cold, hard facts with chilling folklore to show you a city that is as vibrant as it is haunted.
