Ghosts & Graveyards: The Original Experience
Why visit a cellar that distills grain when you can visit a truly haunted vault where unsettled spirits dwell? On this tour you’ll find no fake stories, no men in wolf masks: Edinburgh’s true history is scary enough.
Our guides aren’t psychics; they’re not even especially superstitious. However, there is no denying that things aren’t quite what they seem in this city famous for witch burning, grave robbing, body snatching, and mysterious murders. We go to the most haunted sites in perhaps all of Europe whilst passing through the shadowed vaults that were once plagued with death and decay. The un-avenged corpses of murder victims found here were sold to the anatomists...
On this 1.5-hour tour we cover the prevailing haunted tales and eerie sites, including:
• Calton Hill & the Old Calton Cemetery
• Witch Trials and the site of Witch Burnings
• The Netherport and the corpses of warding
• Legendary Entrance to the Faerie World
• Edinburgh’s Cannibals and Vampires
• Holyrood Palace & the Murder of
Mary Queen of Scots’ lover
• Pagan Ruins and Celtic Mythology
• The best view of the Old Town
• Arthur’s Seat and the mystery of the 17 Doll Coffins
• Vaults of the North Bridge
• Masonic Gravestones
...and much more!
Everyone gets their own flashlight to keep the shadows away!
