Overview

This 75-minute walking tour in Edinburgh's Old Town is for participants aged over 18 only. The tour begins with a visit to the underground vaults beneath the South Bridge, known for high levels of paranormal activity, especially near the witching hour. The guide leads the group down a two-foot stair and further average-sized stairs into the vaults. Visitors will see the Wiccan Temple, the cursed stone-circled vault featured on Most Haunted Live, and the Legendary Haunted Vault, all locations with reported hauntings and paranormal events. The guide shares stories about past visitors’ experiences, as well as reports from paranormal investigators and mediums. The tour also includes free entry to a torture exhibition that displays instruments used during the “Burning Times” to extract confessions and punish the accused. Participants should be aware that the walking pace and terrain may be challenging, and the content can cause distress. Alcohol, drugs, filming, and live streaming are not allowed during the tour.
