 Ghosts
and Ghouls - By day Edinburgh is a
bustling metropolis – but at night the
old buildings and narrow closes take on
a more sinister air…A long history of
murder, torture, hangings and plague has
left a haunting legacy on the city's Old
Town and ghostly apparitions now walk
its streets.
Enter the underground vaults whose
walls, it is said, have absorbed the
memories of those who once lived and
worked there. This part of the tour is
not for the faint-hearted. Cling tightly
to the person beside you: we try to
leave with the same number as we had on
going in!
Choose the Premium Tour and end your
tour with a drink in a candle-lit room
as your guide enthrals you further with
eerie tales from Edinburgh's past.
