Hidden & Haunted Ghost Walking Tour

This is easily our goriest, most graphic and spine-chilling Edinburgh ghost tour, where we take you on a dark and eerie journey through Old Town’s sinister wynds and closes before descending into the haunted Blair Street Underground Vaults.

Hear of tales not fit for the glare of daylight – or for telling to those under the age of 18. Perhaps what’s spookiest of all, is that these twisted tales of history at its worst are all true stories.

Your ghost tour begins above ground at the Mercat Cross, before making our way through the city’s narrow cobble-stone streets where murders, misdeeds and mischief took place. You’ll learn about bloody plots that led to treason and torture – as well as secret lives that led to horrific deaths and tormented souls.

Is it my imagination, or did it just get a little colder? There’s definitely an unsettling feel to our Blair Street Underground Vaults – your expert Storyteller will reveal troubled tales as you continue this underground Edinburgh walking tour. Expect true stories of murder and hangings – all in the atmosphere of the vaults.

Pick out evidence of life in the distant past – and perhaps more – lurking just beyond the faint glow of your Storyteller’s candlelight.
