Overview

This one-hour afternoon walking tour covers Edinburgh’s Old Town and a private section of the South Bridge vaults. The tour begins with a guide dressed as a historical figure from Edinburgh, who leads the group through the narrow, maze-like closes of the Old Town. Along the way, the guide shares stories about violent crimes, bodysnatching, witchcraft, cannibalism, and ghostly legends linked to the area’s past. After exploring the streets above ground, the tour continues underground with a visit to the South Bridge vaults, where participants learn about their construction and the haunted history associated with these chambers. The tour includes a focus on ghost stories and is suitable for children aged five and older. Departures are at 1:15, 3:15, and 5:15 in the afternoon.
